UPDATE!!! 8-5-13

We got everything, pretty much, wrapped up on this install. With the Mishimoto oil cooler installed and the Vortech kit in place, all we had left to do was start buttoning things up.

The position of the oil cooler did give us an extra step to take while doing this. As stated before, the Mishimoto oil cooler kit was not designed to work with the Vortech kit and we knew that going in. This next step required us to cut out a portion of the lower bumper cover, as the oil cooler protruded into this spot of the cover.

We traced out an area of the cover to get trimmed out and turned on the dremel.

With that taken care of, we were able to get the bumper cover back on and get the car buttoned up.

With a new base map flashed onto the car from Tony at FA20Club, we fired the beast up and everything was working flawlessly!! (that's a first)

The car is undergoing more changes today as we get prepared for 86 Fest this weekend. We'll keep you guys updated and hope to bring you dyno testing and videos soon!
