Any thoughts on pushing that air filter a little back to get rid of the nasty kink in the intake? And is this kit easily upgradable? Will i need to replace the entire manifold similar to the ESS kits or can i slide in the heat exchanger into the existing manifold similar to the VF kits? I'm very interested.

Yes, you can upgrade this kit to any of our higher level kits. We will have an exchange program where we exchange your Stage 0 manifold for our intercool'ed manifold. We cannot slide in an air-to-liquid cooler into the manifold as it is welded. |

Once I can get everything rolling here at Gintani, we will begin stocking our SC kits so that orders will be ready to ship the next day over. Gintani is making a lot of changes internally to become more efficient and cater to our customers quicker and better! I will shoot you a PM when I am in the office later today. I personally drove this car for a good 45 minutes and was absolutely stunned how well it performs! I was in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Sunset Blvd, an open stretch of freeway on the 405, and regular traffic near our shop so I was able to test drive the car in all the different situations our customers will experience. Car drove like a stock car, but with so much more power! It was a phenomenal car and almost made me think I should sell my E46 M3 for an E90 M3. Here is a picture of me waiting behind a BMW i8 in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Brentwood/Pacific Palisades area: Quote:
Will post it later today, thank you for the kind words! |

I want one but I too worry about living in a place that is consistently 90 degress or better w/ 90% humiditiy.
From the looks of it it looks like you can re-route the charge piping and I could actually mount a FMIC with this..... Hmmmmmmm |

May as well just buy the bigger cooled kit then right? I'm sure they would sell you the bigger kit w/ a lower boost pulley.
