Upgrades: T-Trim, FMIC, Mondo, Projectors

Hey guys. Finished up my upgrades on Thursday but worked all weekend so I couldnt get any decent shots till today.

V2-T Trim/2.87 Pulley
Front Mount Inercooler (24x12x3)
Vortech Mondo BOV (HUGE)
E46 Projector Retro-Fit

BOV needs to be a adjusted a bit still and the Lights need to be aimed.

Car feels amazing now. Still needs to be tuned a bit but I feel a definate difference.

Before

Looks great, matty and thanks for posting pics!

I can't remember if your car had foglights or not but I can see how the plumbing fits in there now.

Front mount is definetly a tight a** fit. Fogs had to come out and a bit of the bumper had to be trimmed. Nothing out of the ordinary

Glad to see you step it up Matty. Tune it conservatively, that blower is going to shove a whole lot of air into that engine. Can't wait to see a dyno.

Its not in my nature to nitpick threads, but is a T-trim really availalbe on a V2? I thought V2 has S, SQ, and E-trim while V1 had S, SC, and T-trim ?

Peak boost before? Peak boost after?

How about an overall engine shot? Can't see the piping going into the TB.

How much did the V2 T-trim upgrade cost you? Does it say V2 T on the serial number plate?

The serial plate sais "V2-T"

Got it from a company that deals closely with Vortech. $1280 Shipped. Brand NEW Unit, Freshly rebuilt and converted to T-Trim. I still have my old V2 Unit that I can sell. So all in all it will only be a few hundred $$

2.87 on a T-trim holy boost! I was hitting a touch over 11psi at 6500 with the 3.125 on my T-trim.

Is the impeller outlet larger than the S-trim? I believe my V1 T was 3.75" vs 3.5" on the S-trim.
