Which Treadstone intercooler is that & what all did you do to make it fit? I just put there 1300hp 6in in mine with a Paxton.
It's the same 6-inch core, I built the custom crash bar with custom mounts and a whole lot of cutting and grinding.

Me too, I have a new crash bar going in it soon but I had to cut the ears off the mounts where the crash bar goes & use two inch spacers to bring my factory bar out enough to clear. I'm hoping my new bar fits better like yours with out spacers. Your car just looks so mean, I love it!

The only thing that could make this better is another turbo on the other side :headbang: but hell 88mm who needs the added weight & expense! :thumbsup:

The hood is an Amerihood and is the cheapest on the market for carbon hood. I got it for $1000 shipped and there isn't a single flaw. The fit on the hood is great but will have to make a notch to fit the boss302 underneath. Also decided to remove the BOV due to fitment issues and unnecessary weight. Plus I want to hear those crazy WRX style noises coming from the back pressure.

Also too all asking about the hot side pics, I decided to change the design for clearance purposes. Here is the new design tacked up, there is still another long section of hot too be added. Should have the hot side complete by Monday.

Also, the exhaust clamp will be a v band just using it for mocking purposes.

What all is required for the 15 inch wheels to fit beside the brakes?
grinding and grinding and the removal of the parking brake on manual cars.
