Jaykuai can only hope to improve
is there any option to get another intercooler?

i dont like the look of that one.. in an "open" front bumper it would look better an "asymetrical" intercooler.. (for show purposes)

in order to go through the drivers side u WILL have to take out AC, so that would be a beneifit of SF kit

No you dont.

Just follow the numbers on the charge pipes. I had to remove my windshield whiper tank to get the pipes in place and then reinstall it later.

Basicly the tube leaves the intercooler, raps around the washer tank, connects to the next pipe and then gos upward. The BOV gos on the vertical pipe, the followed by the pipe that enters the boot going into the TB.

I have the TD kit and it doesnt suck. Infact it makes more torque vs a base SF kit, as shown by n318z's dyno run.

So before you want to go and talk **** about a product that you have never seen in real life do alittle bit of research.

more torque considering they tested the car on an LX and yours is an EX.... but then again... the only real way to compare kits and numbers is if you use the same dyno in the same conditions with the same trim on the car....
