Out with the old

How much did it cost you for the shop to install it if I may ask?

I just installed mine this past Sunday too. I installed it myself using a ramp. I didn't remove the front bumper. Took me 3 hours. If I did it again it would probably only take 2.

Why did they remove the bumper to install it? Not necessary.

Prob not Necessary, but makes it easier, and more room to work.

the car def feels stronger when the boost hits, on hot days you do not feel as much loss of power as with the stock intercooler. I would say there is just alittle more lag but nothing to complain about.

That car in the background has a HUGE IC. That thing is ridiculous. Are they trying to cool down a jet engine?
