I kept the standard W2A intercooler setup, from what everyone on this site says, is the best setup.
However at a recent GT4 meet I found all the guys who have changed to a regular FMIC all say there is no loss in the low end and major gains from the mid range up. I was actually shocked when I looked at mine how restricted it is inside there to be honest, I'm thinking maybe a frozenboost item may be the way to go? -------------------- Mike W

Hi,
unfortunetly i'am not really using a standart setup - jabsco 80L/h pump - TTE group a spec intercooler - and now the new front radiator your WTA intercooler is restricted? or your air to air? what is a frozenboost item? -> liquid nitrogen or ice cubes? -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJR62vsAg-0 greetz This post has been edited by Sunny: Jul 16, 2011 - 7:13 AM -------------------- |

Hi,
small subjective report, the performance is constant up to the may rpm. like a cool day in spring or fall but nothing is for free, i have ~5°C higher oil temp. against the oem pre-rad, so the oil can raise up to ~100°C whe i drive hard looks like the next mod will be a street under panel, to get more air out of the engine bay greetz -------------------- |

Hi,
some things are done, i bought a cheap used TRD gauge cluster surrounding becouse a little bit bling bling is allowed one of my targets for this year was to adjust the rear suspension but after 16year no toe adjusting was possible any more so i deciced to buy a set of pu-bushings, worked out the whohle arm and pressed in ne new ones, for that you have to dismount the longitude arm, the problem was the bolt when i opened him the whole bolt with the buching turns which means i destroyed it so i also had to pu-bush it but i doesn't want to dismount everything so i build a tool for that work it works perfect and when it becomes to strong just heat it a little bit, but just to press the old one out greetz -------------------- |

Hi,
thanks, 400whp could be hard to arrive in front of the 4WD and his drivetrain loses, but i'll give my best to get the maximum out -------------------- |
