Lots of ppl run similar setups. It's probably sub-optimal, but effective. If you decide to switch you can sell you IC to me

I'd probably make the jump to something like the Pettit Cool Charge III / M2 Large.

whatever you decide, make sure to have a direct path for your intake to grab cold air. this is actually more important than a large intercooler.

^ (I think) its OEM, some FD's came with the silver elbow. I think that's correct anyway.. someone will tell us if its wrong

but yea, it will work, a bigger intercooler would be good though

^ I think 94VRotary is talking about the aluminum pipe that is going from the airbox to the secondary turbo intake. I actually bought one on here for $15. I think people make them custom as I haven't really seen any vendor that sells them. Maybe someone else knows.

But you are correct regarding the elbow...they came in black and silver

Its a stock mount so it is going to sit on top of the radiator and heat soak. I wouldn't run that for anything but a very mildly modified car.

That is exactly it. I found some in ebay for $40ish, but I wasn't sure if they are the correct one. I should just stick with stock one
