Thank you!! Yes, Toni is the man and I'm lucky to have him local. He has totally transformed my car with his tune and I'm sure the turbo will be game changing.

Here's a picture of the 4th brake light I installed. This is with the running light on and the brake light off. Sorry for the bad iPhone pic but you get the idea. I will shoot some nice ones with my SLR one evening but it has been raining daily in South Florida and the 10 day forecast looks about the same. Sucks trying to keep a car clean down here.

Came home to some packages on the door step today. Big thanks to @PERRIN_Chris and @FA20Club.com for taking great care of me like usual.
I picked up some motor mounts and some new radiator hoses from Perrin.. I have been shopping Oil Coolers for a while now and I honestly think that the Perrin cooler is probably the best overall kit out there for a vast majority of customers but for those of us in warm weather states, the Mishimoto kit has an unbeatable value. Of course, @FA20Club.com had the best deal after tons of searching. I have a couple other goodies on the way from Nigel at JDM parts. Looking forward to the OEM armrest and blue engine cover. Hopefully soon...

So I installed the oil cooler..I will update this post with plenty of install pics tomorrow.
I just wanted to comment briefly on the drastic difference in temps it has made. I would commonly be in the 215-225 range and sometimes as high as 235F. That's just too hot for me. Tonight I got the car up to operating temp and I was amazed at the difference after a few pulls to redline in 3rd and 4th gear. Even sitting in traffic after these pulls I never passed 88C or 190.4 F! That's awesome!! At cruising speeds the temps dropped to 82C or ~180F. Not once did it even come close to 200F let alone 225-235!! Lastly, the quality of the Mishimoto parts is really top notch. All of the CNC adapter plates and anodized fittings with their "M" logo...very nice attention to detail. And for $489 from @FA20Club.com, it's the best deal on an oil cooler by far. Awesome!! EDIT: See MISHIMOTO FIRE THREAD..some of the parts aren't as nice as they look apparently and their customer service leaves a ton to be desired! Such a bummer because I was really happy with the oil temps. No resolution as of yet.

Here is a quick video as people always ask how the Borla UEL and Perrin setup sound. Been playing around with a GoPro Hero 3 Black that I just picked up so I will be making plenty of videos soon..
