Thread: CrispedPenny Front Mount Intercooler + CAI Install

Packages came in late last week



Updates:
Installed everything except for the springs, I think we can save that for another day.

- AEM CAI : Went on smoothly absoutley no problems, filter was a little tight fit when we got the FMIC piping on.

-CX Racing FMIC: Id give it a 7/10. Why? well it came with a BUNCH of random brackets and such. and no guidance or instructions on how to use.
It also came with a cheapy SQV BOV. which didnt really matter beacuse i had an SSQV already. Piping was really nice! I was impressed.

Core itself was okay. had a little weight beihind it, but nothing too serious. It came with two brackets below to mount Which ligned up well and was no problem. Although the two bungs on the top had no place to mount anywhere to with the random brackets. Even so, with the stock crash bar and the below brackets it was super sturdy!

what REALLY pissed me off was the hot pipe off the turbo comes with a bracket that mounts onto the engine itself. the bracket was TOTALLY welded on backwards. which didnt really matter, but kinda upset me beacuse now its just sticking out.
CX racing will be informed :D

Afterwords we buttoned it back up, took it out for a spin, and stupid me, i didnt tighten the couplers very well, so we had to tighten them back up and out for a whip..

It was super nice, def can hear a diffrence with the CAI in place, I hold boost a bit longer which is nice, and overall im very happy!

PICS BELOW!
