Rep Power: 257 Hey man I think you should contact ST8RACE. He's having major issues with that kit. It looks like you got it installed with success. Congrats on being boosted.

Rep Power: 256 I think you've installed your IC piping in some weird way.
On my TSI kit it all hidden iside the bumber cover and not visible at all. I think you did not slice the intercooler deep enough between the rad and the metal bumper part.

Rep Power: 232 im not liking the flexible ic piping. looks like a 25 cent kit imo. the intake pipe looks like it would be a bitch. whats the price on one of those compared to a dezod kit?

Rep Power: 0 its the HX model.. didn't really look into it too well when i bought the car but i already have it so i'm makin what i can out of it.. the kit said it should increase the hp by about 50 percent so i should be about 180 or thereabouts.. i looked at the last boost and it said 8 psi.. i'm new to the whole turbo thing, its my first one so i'm not too educated on the whole thing so i could be wrong.. yeah we just finished it yesterday so there's still things left to do.. we're looking into a better intake pipe, no clue on that though cause its a really tight fit so we might have to make one ourselves.. the ic piping does hang real low, we had to notch out the bumper and stuff to get it to fit but i kinda like how it hangs down and i don't really wanna do anything to the body cause i kinda like the stock look.. the whole thing is a really tight fit.. we bought the procivic one because it seemed a little more complete than the other one.. still more things to do though like i said, gotta dress up the wires and all and i'm waiting on an O2 simulator because the new sensor set up is different
