Look out on those Nitro Performance ones on ebay. I just noticed they relisted 2 more for sale, but they have now photoshopped thier picture covering the "HDI" logo relection.

Could still be good kits but just looked odd to me.

Depends, what setup you running mate??

Fmic tend to be the weapon of choice and for good reasons too (lower intake temps etc)

Personally im only running a stock ct9 and am using an ARC tmic, and find this perfect for what I want (quick spool up and slight upgrade over stock intercooler)

I had to trim like 2 inches from underneath of my bumper, which you cant even see. This is with the Japspeed kit, which still retains the A/C too :cool:

mines is simler to the JP, had to trim lower parts of the bumper and splash guard for it to fit. I have a lip on so you cant see the piping:)

Iv experiance hardly any lag with the hdi kit and a definate imrovement in torque and the car runs smoother than before.

Bumper cutting is an issue but if you like the "look" of a big intercooler,which i do, then its fine. It does dramatically change the experiance of your car
