IC questions????

Got the COmptech SC and High Boost Pulley Kit. I'm so excited!!! I'll have pics up in a week after the install. I had a question though. Is it possible to install a front mount intercooler for this set up??? I saw that essarak did it to his, but how much more of a gain can you get??? is it better to stick with the Hope system IC???

The Hope System's kit will be more efficient and you will not loose throttle response like you will with the FMIC. However, a FMIC combined with water/methanol injection and the e-Mange i'm sure you could gain a considerable mount of horsepower even without installing the 8-9psi pulley.

I might actually do this since the Hope Systems kits appear to be out of production.

Plus a intercooler peeking through your front bumper looks sick!

Eventually. None of this is going to happen soon. I might be able to get Hope System's kit. By the Fall the car will be substantially faster than it is now though; one way or the other.
