Default Pics of my new setup

Since I havent really posted her in a long time, and I just finished getting my setup together, here are a few pics. I went with a PWR water to air intercooler with a custom spec heat exchanger. The intake manifold is a dual runner JDM cyclone intake manifold. The throttle body is a 1g NT that has been tapped directly for aquamist alcohol injection nozzles. The intake is now setup as a true cold air setup. The valve cover and intake manifold have had the "ribs" on top shaved smooth, and the powdercoating work was performed by Jeremy (callmej75), with the valve cover and fuel rail done in silver vein, and the manifold, throttle body, and throttle cable brackets done in mirror black. I have a custom alcohol injection system using an aquamist High speed valve, FIA2, and other spec'd out parts. The intercooler and alcohol injection system both use 1 gallon fuel cells, one being mounted at the firewall in that picture, the other in the stock sidemount location. I have a carbon fiberhood now, as well as fiberglass seats for weight reduction. There also have been some polished additions to the engine bay. The exhaust is a full 304 SS Vband custom made exhaust, and the turbo is a FP3052 ball bearing GT30R based turbo that has a polished compressor and turbine housing with an integrated 44mm Tial Vband wastegate and Vband turbine exit. The wastegate recirculates into the exhaust stream as well.

I just edited the link above, I still have a "FMIC", it is my heat exchanger which is the exact size of my old FMIC and it looks identical.

Gorgeous setup, I actually like the chrome in the engine bay which I normally dont. Also I like the painted fog lights.
