I think it real nice.
What's next? I would get a front lip and probably lose the stickers - but that's just me. That accordian-style pipe after the IC reminds me of the stock airbox turbo intake pipes...

dont chrome your wheels bro, it makes me sick when i watch unique whips and a rapper or baller come in and put heavy *** chrome wheels on their lambo or ferrari. it seems like all will castro knows about cars is blurt out" yo yo we'll put some giavanni 20's on here and wrappem' in some good rubber, yo i think we'll go pirellis. ya pirellis would look hot son" you might have bought your car for a different reason but i bought mine to go faster than the other guy.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The turbo is a T04. I actually didn't spend that much for the v-mount because it was all custom made. The intercooler cost $200 and we had some brackets made at a friends machine shop. With all the hoses and couplers all together I only spent about $500. Yes it is still the stock radiator and I've had no problems with water temps. I'm just got this all together so I haven't done any duct work yet. But trust me it is on the list. Maybe later today I'll post some pics of the v-mount set up. Thanks again everyone. By the way rims are on the list too.

Thats great! $500 vmount set up!

You should build several of these and sell it on the forum. Looks like you did a great job on it!

I would think like any other Vmount set up except he's using the stock rad.

Te radiator is flipped just like a normal v-mount. And the engine bay is not yellow because it was not originally a CYM. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Must not be an original CYM, was probably repainted. They are hard to come by, 1 of 350.
