IC install next weekend

[PamAndJim]

I was referring to an intercooler in general

As was I. I have been told that the code that results from the removal of the shutters does not harm performance and that it's safe to drive for a couple months until I get a new tune (getting life time tune around my birthday in May). Are you saying that's not the case?

1/4 ratchet and a short 7mm socket made those bumper screws cake. I had mine done with charge pipes in about an hour and a half. And I took my emblem off for paint too.

You will be fine. The tune gets rid of the CEL on the dash. If you try to read the codes on the Accessport the grille shutter code will still be in there when you look.

Am I the only one that checks the tracking info 1,000 times a day when you have car parts on the way? It's been on a FedEx truck for delivery since this morning. I keep hitting refresh, but it's still not here argghhhhhh.

Ha, ha! Yeah been watching my JLT CAI being delivered today. Going to try to install that and my intercooler this weekend as well!

 

[PamAndJim]

I have the email notification on, but I still have to refresh every 3 seconds. The worst part is that I need to leave the office in a few minutes.

It's here! It's here! I feel like a kid at Christmas.
BTW, the box is huge.

Is this his newer design or the one on his website currently ?

 

[PamAndJim]

This is newer version of his "street" IC, which is what is on his website. There is a "race" version in the works, but it's not available yet to my knowledge.

Take lots of pics please. I think this will be my next mod. Kind of torn between this or lowering the car and adding a nice set of rims and tires

Definitely do IC first. Pretty much unanimously decided it should be first mod on EB.

Congrats Jim, now I know the excitement you were feeling. My Levels should be here next week....

Did you take the bumper off by yourself ? The white looks great with the black rims :cheers:

Yes, it actually wasn't too bad. Even the dreaded fender screws came out relatively easily once I figured out a system. I jacked the car up as high as I could while keeping the tire on the ramp and was able to come up from the bottom with a small ratchet while bringing my other hand down from the top to hold the socket on the screw. It was a little challenging, but not to bad.

Also, thanks for the compliment, I also painted my wheels over the weekend. They're not perfect, but they'll do until I gey some aftermarket wheels.
