Have you considered looking into a water to air intercooler upgrade for the kit? Similar to the Coyoda turbo setup. This would eliminate the need to compromise the crash bar, or to replace it with an untested drift bar. It could also increase the cooling capacity quite a bit for those of us who see 90F ambient half the year.

I have not, not sure how streetable this would be as 99.99% of our buyers are daily drivers.

It should be very streetable, pretty much all OEMs now use W2A intercoolers on their high performance motors (BMW M, GM on the corvette and turbo caddilacs, Mercedes on most of their turbo motors, and there are more). The only thing to worry about is to freshen up the coolant every once in a while.

Daily driving is exactly why I bring this up, because as long as my car is a DD, I will not compromise its crash safety, and I'd hazard to say I'm not the only one. The only way to turbo this motor and keep the crash structure intact is to run really long intercooler piping (AVO, Ptuning), or use W2A (Coyoda, Edelbrock too but that's a SC). From Looking at the layout of the SBD kit, it looks to me like it's one of the more doable setups for W2A.

Just ordered my 500X kit. I cannot wait to install and experience this car with some real power.

Speaking of temps, by the way. I know I'd definitely want an oil cooler if I track it, but until then, would I need it for dailying here in South Florida?

NEED, no. Should, yes.

Do you have a European dealer to sell these kits?
Import costs in Belgium are ridiculous. It would make the kit cost about 5k instead of 3k.
