My b16a used to produce quality work with no front mount on 5psi..
My suggestion is save up some cash and get yourself a nice cheap one that will do the job for you.

just remove the bumper support and you will have ton of space.

warm air = detonation

Just run one!



BTW, that wg sounds terrible. "Sounds like two lesbian ----- farting" - quoted from Beau. Connect it back to your downpipe. And it seems like you are not running a BOV? I dont hear one.

Well there's that ATP water intercooler kit, but I doubt you would want to pay 600 for it.

errr, thats the dumbest thing I have heard.. hell no, I am not removing my bumper support, I prefer to live in a front on collision..

Nope, keeping it dumped, I prefer the better performance.. that way I can run a 2.5" exhaust and be as or more efficient than a routed 3"..

I have a DSM BOV.

you do realize that the bumper support is only a piece of plastic (usually) that keeps your bumper cover from sagging and ----.. if you did get into a front end collision it would do nothing to save you anyways. that is the actually metal bumper behind your bumper cover that will save you and it will still be there

Replacing your styro bumper support with aluminum IC might actually be an upgrade. Testing will need to be done.

I would go water/Air intercooler then if you are against removing stuff.

cca ic $130 shipped, all that trouble by being cheap.. a water/alcohol injection might end up costing more than $130. just by customcoach intercooler.
