Working with the guys @ RR_Racing on a way to make this family "suv" faster (weight wise) lol. Rafi has been working vigorously on new dyno - tunes. He sent me a new one for race gas. So, I decided to dyno

Hopefully in the near future we will be testing E45 tunes. Stay Tuned!

Did you have to modify the positioning of the intercooler to get your bumper support to fit back where it was without any other modifications other than the custom work you did by choice? I'm seeing where mine is not fitting without modification.

Wanted to spice up the interior a bit, so I reached out to Ivan @ DCTMS. I told him what I was looking for, and we came up with a few ideas...
First thing we upgraded was the shift ****! I really liked the factory shifter ****, but wanted a carbon one instead. Just didn't want something cheap.
His product is second to none! As you can see from the pics it's really well made

Easy to install: Simply push down on shifter cover and twist shifter counter clock wise to remove

Cool thing is the carbon in the shift **** is flowing the same way as the factory trim!

Hi Biggame where are you located? I’m in Whittier would love to meet up with you in person during an event and check out your ride. I’m really curious about this supercharger kit. I would just need to find an installer here.

Cut the absorber to match the reinforcement for maximum airflow

To keep air flow going to the intercooler, we had to cut the inside of the bumper to match the reinforcement
Cut lines marked

Perfect cutout!

Bumper installed! With the upper shield removed you can see how nice everything fits. Also, easy access to the oil reservoir

do do you have a picture from the front of the grill in day light so you can see what it looks like with bumper cut showing the inter cooler?

I'm Going to be at Qualcomm/SDCCU stadium in San Diego for Extreme auto fest! Should have 1/8 mile drags. (If it's not to hot)
**EDIT**
* Just learned track will not be in operation on this day! We will not be there after all
Thanks for the complement!
