Appreciate it. If one wanted function + form, do you think the TF kit would have enough length to work with the pretty APR ducts? </end stupid questions>

Probably, but I'm not sure. With the APR ducts you need to make major modifications to the washer fluid reservoir. If you're willing to do that, and spend the extra coin, it might be a great option. I would do some research on it first, though. I'm guessing it's been tried and maybe isn't worth the hassle.

Proper race/track pads + high quality DOT 4 brake fluid work well.

There are pros/cons of brake ducting. This is something we can work with you identify what you are really looking for. For most, ducting works well especially due to the type of pads people are running. For other setups, ducting is actually a bad idea. On top of that, you'll need to find a creative method to funnel a good amount of air with any FI kit.

If you track quite often over the course of the year, you will find that BBKs are there for consistency and reduced brake consumption (over time).

Is the main differences between the maximal and JRSC cooler, JRSC is 15 row, mounting bracket and the hose for the rotrex cooler?

The cooler bolts to the plastic under-body between the radiator and front bumper.

Sorry, pass.

I am told it needs to be out in the open in the moving air to be correct.

That was the only thing I thought they missed on this kit. They should have included a bracket to move the sensor and a harness extension for it.

This is only a BRZ issue, FRS's don't have the outside temp sensor.

It does not affect anything to do with the engine, it is only for the dash readout.

Is there a fix to correct this? CSG do you ideas?

I want to confirm if I did my install correctly: did you guys reinstall the air deflection shield from the upper front bumper area before buttoning up the front bumper? This was removed in Step 4, page 4 of the install manual.

The boost is back, and man, it feels good.

Have a crank pulley, accessory pulleys and driveshaft on standby for after I secure a clutch and rims.

Want to get a feel for the setup on 91 and E85 before going after peppiness.

I installed mine just fine

Snaps. Welcome to the CARB legal club.

You can trim it to go around the charge pipes if you like, but we do not.

You can relocate it to the clean air between the intercooler and front bumper opening, but there's really no way to make it fully functional with all the additional piping in the way. You can always remove a faux fog light, and place it directly behind that opening...

Looks like everything worked out okay in that area. I did not have to trim the deflection shield and it still bolted back on.

Question for the guys running a moto-east tune on the JRSC kit, what Rev limit is optimal? 7850,8050 or 8150? Keeping in mind my car will have a lighter flywheel and lightened pulleys.
