Hmm..mine is a monster than. j/k j/k....

Well, I'm getting my cold air intake w/ new intake pipe done today. The IC pipe w/ BOV across the engine is now relocated...the battery is also relocated, no more air box.

For now, it's just a new long pipe all the way from the turbo to the bottom front of the engine bay, right next to the radiator.

When I take the car to get a better looking fabrication done for the "battery enclosure" along with the custom JL 10 inch W7, I will either make heat shield thingy I've been talking about or let them fab it for me, if I'm not too ambitious.

Then, I'll call SPG9 and ask them if they want to help out on the TB deal, I'm interested in finding the gain from dyno testing for them. I mean c'mon if there are people using EA's and helped, I'm sure any other brand will do the trick just as well if not better.

Kai, if you are doing it reasonably soon, let me know. If I haven't run the article yet, you and I could always meet up for another engine shot and I could include it in the article, which would give them more exposure.

Good idea, George! Thanks~~ This should help quite a lot. Maybe we can include an article about the Altered Atomsphere Motorsports guys, too.

We can probably have one additional section where we can do a before/after dyno result from adding the throttle body. The TB will probably be sponsored (or I'm hoping partially sponsored) by SPG9 if they want their products to be known. One can easily make a good publicity from an article like this.

I really have good experience with the AAM guys, they are much more professional. AND THEY ACTUALLY CARE!! I wouldn't mind putting in few good words for them, or even give them most of the credit for my upgrades. They just simply have, in no comparison, much better customer service than EIP. They are able to tell you the most updated status of the project, and try to forecast when they can deliver the car accurately.

Too many details to be talked about here before I get off the topic again.

But I think a dyno test result for different intake system would not be all that possible since I don't plan on putting everything back just for a dyno test.

The throttle body upgrade comparison is very possible, though.

Thanks again, George....I thought about that before, but didn't know if that was OK with you.
