The pictures aren't showing. Where in North Cali are you? I'm moving just north of Sacramento next year. I'd really like to see the pix of your V-mount since I'm planning on running one on my FD as well. Where did you get yours?

Looks nice but I don't like that battery location.

Where's your air separation tank? Or, did you leave it out of the equation.

Beautiful install and look. Gives it that, "wtf is that" look

I never had an air seperator tank....

I do wish there was provision for some sort of a cold air intake....

Hey Cossie, is there any way that you can email me or send me a link to the pix. For some jacked up reason I can't see them in this thread. I think it's because I'm on a government computer. Damned firewalls!!

Do you have any way of monitoring intake temps? If you do, is there a really noticeable difference?

Looks nice btw

Nice job on the install. I personally would have liked to see the Intercooler mounted more vertically and the Radiator mounted at more of a horizontal angle.

How much was it, which one is it and where did you get it? Self installed? It looks awesome!

How much did the V mount cost? I just saw an article on it. I think it was in super street.

Very nice looking .

I'd be curious to see some numbers for your setup vs mine (M2 large SMIC, fluidyne rad exposed due to complete a/c elimination) to be able to quantify any gains......

Looks good. I would be interested in how effective the setup is also.

By the way, did you install it yourself?

I was browsing your photos and saw that you had your engine apart. Did you rebuild that as well?

Fong,

Does the AC still in there? I don't see the condenser. Would it be possible to keep the AC?

That looks to me as a very large Smic, rather than V mount. However, it's very nice, good job on it

Where's the A/C condenser? Does the kit retain the A/C?
