I am starting to lean toward the cancel button because of the long wait and lack of communication.

Be patient. They are a small shop with a lot of production for other Intercoolers. If I didn't have so much going on right now I'd hop across the river ad check it out for you all.

I hope everyone is starting to get order deliveries. Please everyone post pics after you install, especially for the anodized.
Im glad that me setting this group buy up actually panned out for everyone, and I really appreciate everyones willingness to fallows through with the entire process!
Unfortunately for me, due to financial difficulties I won't be able to splurge on this awesome deal. Oh well, darn priorities...

Just received an email small delay. Almost there!
I just wanted to let you know that your intercooler will be built by the end of next week. We had a problem with the bung location and it took longer than expected to rectify this problem. We then have to have it anodized which takes approx. an additional week. I will get you tracking as soon as your order is shipped out. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Installed!!!
The install was pretty straight forward and I did it in combination with an oil/filter change. I used the following site for instruction: http://www.hondawhores.com/blogs/1-2...-boost-did-you
Here are the most important factors for the install:
Can the pillar with a nut on it in the picture above be bent, or is a dual purpose pillar? If I don't bend the pillar it seems like I'll have to notch the TMIC mount, but with how bad it lines up I'd have to notch all the way through.
Stock TMIC weight: 7lbs 7.4 oz
ETS TMIC weight: 13lbs 14.8 oz
I haven't driven it yet since the Ultra Grey is still drying. After about two hours I did start it up and let it idle for a few minutes so I could check my oil level.
I'm too anxious to wait until tomorrow to test, so I'll take it out for a spin tonight real late.

Here are the most important factors for the install:
- The MAP sensor needs a 10mm bolt. I had one laying around, it was about an inch long.
- The MAP sensor relocation collides slightly with the BOV. I ground down the screw head until I felt comfortable with the thickness. Unless you get a very shallow screw head, it's going to rub no matter what. The BOV still seated properly to the TMIC.
- The front mount does not line up at all. You can see from the pics. I'm debating whether to bend that stud/nut pillar or to notch the mount.

Exhilarating. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.
Much better low end pickup for me. I took it for a short drive last night, so I didn't get a chance to test the top end.
Good luck with the install, let's see some pics of those anodized TMIC's!

^ Try this.... Undo the rear intercooler mounts. Line up and loosely intsall the front mount that currently won't line up. Now for the rear mounts just bend the factory mounting brackets to line up with the intercooler holes. I think thats what the other guys did.

No bending, just a little persuasion...
