I don't think I'll ever do another pair it was a lot of work and a ton of time, not too expensive and well worth it.

What type of intercooler piping did you buy? eBay? Your thoughts?

Yea i got it off of ebay its the GodSpeed intercooler kit it just took a second to figure out how to get the pipes right they dont give you a diagram but its not hard. You just have to make mounting brackets for the intercooler.

nice tail lights i was lookin thru your build thread, what type of bulbs did you use on the license plates?

There are 12 white LEDs between the two sides just a little over kill.

Amazing work man. I like the fact that you're sticking with the OEM exterior, hate to see a MKIII molested with the insane body kits. :nono:

Couple questions;

1. What kind of paint did you use for the waterpump and lower timing cover?

2. At what RPM do the turbo kick in? I watched the vid, but couldn't quite hear a spool when you down shifted, maybe it's just my laptop.

3. The radiator. :aigo: What the hell caused that deformation?

1. It is just the engine enamel spray paint form any auto parts store
2. the turbo starts to spool around 32-3500 rpms it's a good turbo and its for sale!
3. Blew my stock HG with 16psi lol that was when i first got the car I am just finally getting around to trying to get a new one.

How does the ride feel with that suspention?

It's a little rough but that's to be expected but I don't have any complaints so far
