Re: (97GLTbrick)

Did you PhMic come with T-bolt clamps or did you buy them yourself? Also looks great... I will be picking my kit up Friday <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/biggrin.gif" BORDER="0">

 

[97GLTbrick]

^^ Kmg it came with the cooler core, silicone couplers, and all t clamps. The only thing i had to buy was a peice of angle aluminum for mounting the core to the raditor/condensor asy. I got it at lowes its a 2"x2" angle aluminum 1/8" thick about $20. i can live with buying a $20 angle aluminum for the price of the kit lol well thought out design imo

Re: (97GLTbrick)

Looks hot! <p>Are you considering painting the IC black? I think it would match pretty well.

Chris, looks great man! <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/emthup.gif" BORDER="0"><p>Since you did the work yourself, if you have any pointers that you think should be added to the installation guide, drop me an email. I'm always eager to hear feedback from those who install the kit.

 

[97GLTbrick]

+2. I finally had the chance to drive my car with my FMIC and DP installed. The FMIC is nice, can't say I noticed a difference (it is not hot here yet, I'm sure when summer finally arrives it will make its presence known). The DP? WOW! I love this thing. Turbo spool up seems much much better, perhaps it's just me, but the car seems much more "eager" not that it is any faster 0-60 or produces more HP (Maybe, who knows?) but the turbo lag is much improved. I'm in R heaven....

 

[97GLTbrick]

^^ yeah i can't wait to get my DP made here in a few weeks. The Phmic was a must though heat soak was awfull here lol
