Thumbs up AWWWW....My intercooler can finally breathe!

Got the car back today. I don't know if it was the weather or the new front bumper but my boost spiked to 15psi today. It's a good thing I have a fully built motor!

how much you think the motor can stand? do they give you a psi to be cautious of?

Good question. I dunno, but I have seen SGP motors running 17.5psi with no problems. I am going to buy the SGP wastegates that dump into the atomsphere and retune for 16psi in the very near future.

Very nicely done. Now all you need is the TopSecret hood ( Authentic TS or Seibon TS ). Gets pretty hot underneath the hood.

When i had my motor built at Performance Motorsports
( www.theexpirience.com ) they told me that 20 psi was as high as i should go.

Yeah, I might do the TS hood sometime next year....got to get suspension, new wastegates, and a full standalone first.

Looking nice GMan. I guess I never really though of how little flow the stock G bumper is capable of.
