seems like you have your hands full, but in a good way. I've cut back like crazy lately with the car parts, trying to hold off until summer at least haha. Even though I just spent all this money on the intercooler.. lol.

@xxscaxx
I actually had no symtoms prior to the CEL, even with the CEL the car went perfect.
Got the highest dyno numbers of 250whp with the CEL on.

I think the coil pack has been dead for sometime and the boost from SC has forced CEL. The it was visible on the plug from cylinder 1 it was black compared to the others.

I've pulled the O2 sensor out and given it a clean aswell, was damn dirty.

Forgot to mention I fitted the HKS intake duct, replacing the snorkel under the front bumper.
Ran logs and found I'm getting 10gs more airflow compared to previous runs at same intake temps. I also use the same road for all my logs to ensure consistency.
Once car is fixed and Bill is back from vacation I'll send him logs to see what his thoughts are of the intake duct.

Thought I'd add final pics of my install:






Final dyno tune tomorrow, will come back with results.

Thanks for all the updates. I will be interested in seeing it all on there. Does it look like there is adequate room to mount the oil cooler in the center? The reason I ask is I'm running the Perrin oil cooler and plan to upgrade to the intercooler here soon.

from what I understand the Perrin oil cooler will fit nicely in front of the inter cooler - having my full system including Perrin oil cooler fitted in 2 weeks so will be able to post pics

Does the coolant hose from the front of the inlet on the supercharger route on top of the oil filter, or behind it? Hoping its behind it, as I have the Forester XT oil cooler so it sits a few inches higher than the stock setup..

You could probably move it behind, the whole pipework is pretty flexible.

I'd just prefer it not sitting against the back of the oil cooler. Kind of stupid for Innovate to route it right over the damn oil filter.

Innovate... Isn't responsible for the routing. Where should it be routed?

Sorry Sprintex, or whoever.

It shouldn't be routed to sit on top of the oil filter. If you find that acceptable, then I don't know what to tell you.

The only reasoning I see behind it is Kodename is using the old fat filters, so maybe with the newer thinner filters it won't hit. Either way, I think its pretty much common sense to not produce it that way.

I was hoping for more of an answer than "someplace different". Maybe Sprintex doesn't have any more imagination for hose routing than you do...

I do agree that putting it right in the way every time an oil change is done isn't ideal, but would it be better to run a very long hose to keep it completely out of the way?

I am not too sure honestly. I thought you were being sarcastic with that question, so I apologize haha.

Once I have the kit in my hands and can look at it I could take a look, just kind of sucks it has to sit against the filter like that.
