ok... how the hell do you know what i know?

anyway, why not get a shiny piece of metal and attempt to make a heat shield, wow, thats tough isnt it? because putting an air filter 3 inches from a part that gets close to 800*C a great idea...

well, on my other car...my 4" intake off the turbo actually (it will) runs behind the quarter panel, so no heat shield needed because it has some thought behind it

here you go, the car is in the middle of being built...

It doesn't matter where the air filter is, after the air goes through the turbine, it becomes heated anyways, hence a front mount intercooler. But his car is

so increase the air intake temp before it makes it into the compressor housing?thats always a good idea i suppose... FMIC's are not the most efficient things in the world...

he is auto from the last time I saw his car. The paint is beautiful in person. I had no showroom etiquette and kept on touching his car at the show and he kept on repeatedly having to wipe my fingerprints off. BUT it was so damn tempting!

I knew that he had that body kit , paint and wheels but had no idea that he did all those other interior and under the hood upgrades. Deffinately would be my vote for a maxima of the month. The car is hot!
