Trust SMIC install.
DIRECT BOLT ON MY BUTT!
I had to cut my IC pipes, cut the fender plastics and remove my fog light, and massage various plastic pieces.
I think the old one had some flow issues. Anyone see a fin that isn't bent on the stocker?
Shameless plug because I actually bought a "brand name" Item.
Took her out for a test run and it's a big improvement. At least I think so...
I had the boost set @ 20lbs earlier today. And I went out tonight and was hitting almost 25lbs! SO I'm thinking theres a significant flow gain! Feels strong! Once I get the electric exhaust cutout I think I'll be close to my 500 RWHP goal. Then I'm done throwing money at this thing for awhile!

its not that big of a deal. a little modification is always necessary just about with every mod you do. when was the last time you actually used your foglights? lol.
that intercooler is really enough to cool air efficiently for your power goals? its a nice upgrade over stock never the less.

With the stocker I made 480 @ the wheels. Guys on the supra forums have pushed 700WHP with greddy SMIC's. So my 500 HP goal seems reasonable I think.
