Default My baby's growing teeth

Just a couple of pics of my baby's teeth. It got bigger in less than a month. The first pic is a spearco intercooler that came with the turbo setup. The second is a GTR size intercooler from XS Engineering.

The new intercooler is probably tie -strapped to the bumper!

Looks choice Ricky, now pick me up from the airport and post pics of your engine bay!

thanks for the compliments. It will have a "completed" look by next week. I had my other bumper repainted. It should look much better than it does now.

Are you going to have any problems with your Radiator cooling well? those GTR cores are THICK and usually if you dont add another electric fan on the incoming side of the radiator youll have heat issues. or maybe you just upgraded the factory radiator all together???

Looks good either way!
