I've checked in a few times today and it's been comical to watch what's going on in this thread.

I quite like the tiny handouts and teases… it sure makes for a better build-up. Also, were people thinking this thing would be tuned in a matter of minutes, or an hour or something?

For whoever wants the full enchilada: check back Monday.

The engine doesn't seem to move that much, that's good.

Kit looks pretty robust and well thought out. Here's hoping for the best Don.

I had a couple of thoughts... it's very nice that this kit requires no cutting BUT if someone weren't to mind doing so how does this sound?

-Replace battery with small, lightweight version and relocate either somewhere else in the engine bay or to the trunk.
-Flip the filter over to the stock battery position and house it in a custom airbox to protect from the heat of the engine bay.
-Remove the passenger side 86 emblem on the fender and cut a port to the airbox.
-Replace with louvered type scoop (not huge) facing forward feeding directly into the airbox.

I'm no expert but it seems to me like the turbo would be far more efficient if the air being fed to the compressor was cooler and denser. Seems like this would lead to reaching desired boost quicker (possibly not noticably) and reducing air temps post-compressor due to lower start temp....

Does that seem like sound theory? What are folks' thoughts on this?

Scoop would be something along these lines but obviously facing forward as the goal is not to expel are but to gather it and obviously designed to look decent in that position on the car.

The closed airbox and battery relocate is a good plan, even feeding it with fender or other sourced cold air but there's really no need for ram scoops etc on a FI engine.
