      or make it a video DIY tutorial, upload it to YT, monetarize it and get some cash for those views ...

      many guys seem to be getting some cash and sponsors for that kind of thing.

        Pulled out the itbs and got the oem manifold ready. I plan on doing a few diy videos for example how to install oil filter relocation kit, how to install/ clock turbo, oil lines etc.

        Intake manifold is gold basecoat, charcoal, then clear. Looks amazing in person. Camera couldn't captue how it changes in light.

                So 10.6lbs removed by cutting out sheet metal valance and deleting oil cooler but then i added the intercooler which is a whopping 15.8lbs.


                So weight gain of 5.2lbs.

                    New good-n-tight manifold installed 30min after delivery. Nice fit, some studs get real close to piping so make sure all nuts are installed before you tighten it up!

                      Damn Kam, you don't mess around, looks great....!!!!
                      Good choice on using the stock exhaust gaskets, the ones supplied with it are not so great.

                          I'm sure you know this and have a reason not to, but you could save some more weight if you run the charge piping under/behind the high beams. IMO it makes charge piping way simpler too.

                            I've always run it under the high beams but I want better cooling for the radiator this go because in LA, or 100degree plus stop and go i was not getting adequate air flow. Now im able to fit 2 fans both at 3.5" thick now. It was done for a reason;)
