I will for a little while. I would rather use the full effect of the height if I could, plus it is starting to look nasty ...red speckles, cracking paint, torn left brake vent.



Stock location on the FC is right in front of the radiator, below the a/c condensor yet still in front of that as well.

I like it, looks good. Though, why not run 3 inch piping off the cold side?

Colder air is more dense and takes up less volume. After it hits the core the same amount of air now has even more room to flow since the pipe is still 2.5 inches. I think that's why



Either way...Greddy kit comes 2.75 out of the core and is good for quite a bit of power. More than I plan to make.



On side note ...I finally had the feeling of blowing a hose off. Boosting, then I let off and BOOM! ...then the car flooded. It scared me as if the motor popped. Then it started and idled fine and boosted fine back home. Still need to check it out to be sure.

I live permanently in Tampa, but go to school up at Tallahassee in the fall.

I think the S5 nose has more room in that area.

make up you mind



Yeah, I had planned on doing that, but idk still. It looks fine now, but if I could be making the intercooler more useful by cutting the bumper larger like he did then I will. I just don't want it to look ghetto. I have to see his car again and decide.

Ok, your the third person who has mentioned that. Somehow I am going to have to take measurements to verify.

Superb job. It looks professional. The bumper is fine, keep it stock, and buy a stocker bumper.



For the hood: Get a stock S4 N/A hood. Aluminium to be specific.
