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.

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.

[/quote][quote name='Rob x-7' date='Jun 13 2005, 04:55 AM']chop the whole thing off like 1FASTT2 did

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.
[quote name='RONIN FC' date='Jun 13 2005, 07:56 AM']I think the S5 nose has more room in that area.

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