Inlet does indeed look like a snug fit!
I changed mine over a few weeks back, most painful job made worse by forgetting to connect the bov return hose before inlet was fully in :(

Intercooler looks nice and OEM too :good: I like!

Hey Jacob, loving the wagon mate! :D

Have you got a pic of your mufflers? the dual 3" tips do sound very interesting but how do they fit inside the cutouts on the rear bar?

Cheers, Simon

I have a few pics but I'm going to take some better ones. They only just fit in the cutouts and look quite impressive though there was a bit of touching and vibrating happening. I had the tips bent a little to avoid this. They are a great set of mufflers though I think I want to go back to the dual 4" tips actually.

All these mods! Nice! How's the car running with all the gear minus the tune?

Had the initial tune done with the air filter and TBE and BOV. Though there was a bit of backfire with the inlet hose and stock cooler. This went away when I put the new cooler on though :? It drives well and pulls like a train as it comes onto boost though its not hitting peak boost as quickly as it was before, I can tell it really wants another tune. I'll hopefully get it booked in to have the turbo swapped in the next 2 weeks and a tune hopefully within the same week.

It is most likely pulling timing because of the inlet pipe and intercooler, it is dealing with a lot more airlfow now. Get a tune ASAP! 8)

Yeah I do it all! I run my own studio and write most of the stuff for my band and produce it. Makes it difficult when you get to the stage of do I buy coilovers? or new studio monitors? :lol:

Just curious, but do you plan on putting the engine cover back on?

I do plan on putting the cover back on but I need to do some trimming for the intercooler first. Need to borrow my friend's dremel I think. Though the red powder coated sti style intake manifold with that red pipe and black cooler would look pretty mean under there as it is!

Half cut the OEM like Adam did looks good.
Although the PW intercooler is stupidly wide so may be why it does haha!

Kobe ones are more OEM width if I'm not mistaken.
There's also the Hyperflow metal half cut, I've contemplated those for when I do my tmic.
