Project boost begins 10/16/11 after the Official-Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett/SELOC Lexus meet @ 10/15/11 in Atlanta, GA

Black Univeral HKS SQV BOV with mounting flange









AEM Boost Gauge (I may be swapping this one out with a buddy for his AEM True Boost version) I will also be getting a AEM Oil Pressure Gauge in the near future



This will match my AEM Wideband one perfectly



I got 2 of these Autometer Carbon Fiber 52mm gauge cups to match the one I have now for my wideband gauge



Test fitted. We are going to be mounting these to the A-Pillar



Got this brand new Perma-Cool Transmission Cooler



Got this universal carbon fiber oil catch can

Aluminum radiator with electric fans. Going to take a little work to make it fit but we'll be ok



Got this Intercooler kit from my buddy Frank. Super excited about seeing this peek-a-boo-ing form behind the bumper

Yeah.... Now were talking I have the same HKS SSQV black LE on my car. That intercooler looks so beautiful so shinny and new Can wait to see the finished product. What kind of turbo will you be using?

That's my next thing to get is the Aluminum radiator with electric fans.
What are the dimensions on the intercooler?
