Very nice indeed. Anyway you could get some in motion action of any kind. That would be nice to see as well.

Was the lower plastic grill piece removed in order for the intercooler to fit? It's a little hard to tell from the video.

This intercooler is waaaayyyyyy sweet. You feel the lower (intake) pipe, and it is hot, then you feel the upper (to throttlebody) pipe and it is nice and cold. SFpower makes Freakin sweet intercoolers.

Man, not only was the engine stock... so was the car. No kit, no rims. That'll surprise a lot of people.

Catalyst, that was with the stock exhaust?

I was thinking the same thing, but I've never seen the engine minus the turbo so it may bounce around like that. Anyone know?

BTW, that kit is badass...wish I had the loot.

Well I will say this...there are times when its happened in my car...but I dont think my engine moved nearly that much...and it didn't consistently happen....

From my reading of this thread, it doesn't seem like he was driving the car the hardest on the dyno either...so the movement could be even worse under hard driving conditions.

Kinda looks like it was shut down and the dyno rollers brought it to sudden stop while the clutch was still engaged. That way the engine couldn't coast to a stop.

Kinda like if you just came to a sudden stop and didn't depress the clutch or put it in neutral.

if thats the end of the video, then i think its more of a concern for me...but if its the end of the dyno run, its no biggie.
