    Houston we have a problem

    Ok i just got my turbo xs downpipe and racepipe installed lastweek and everything was all good so to speak (NO CEL). Over the past two days i had been hearing a gargling sound from the exhaust like it was coming from under the car somewhere in the middle. Today i go full throttle on a feeder and...

    Custom FMIC

    i ordered my intercooler from cxracing earlier today, overall size is 28"x7"x2.5", core size 22"x7"x2.5", assuming the quote on labor and piping is correct, I'm going to have a FMIC setup for less than $350, assuming everything functions correctly i saved myself enough money to purchase a fuel pump

    Turboxs RP and DP Combo in stock

    I have both pictured, paired with the stock exhaust and NO CEL yet. The car sounds great, nice rumble at start up, stock sound at idle, and deep grumble at WOT. The car is no longer a sleeper after adding these parts.

    Custom FMIC

    i know they mandrel bend pipes and they've been recommended on houston-imports. They did the intercooler piping for this srt-4 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/656794.

    Custom FMIC

    I was thinking about getting a custom FMIC setup, and Speedfetish a local performance shop(houston/woodlands) has given me an intial estimate of $500.00, for labor, custom piping, and the core. If i provided the core the estimate dropped to $250.00. What to do?

    Houston, tx turbo xs downpipe & racepipe install

    Got the car back yesterday, and I'm very pleased with everything so far. The combination of the test pipe and downpipe to go along with the cai has really added some life to this car. So far the car has not thrown a CEL. I don't see why people are spending the money on aftermarket cat-back...

    Houston, tx turbo xs downpipe & racepipe install

    God I love Houston, although we have fog,smog, and traffic you can always find stuff. Instead of spending a day off installing a turbo xs downpipe and turbo xs racepipe I decided to spare myself the hassle by paying for the install. After the first shop that was going to do the job for $100...

    Electronic/Manual Boost Controller SetUp

    Am I wrong here or is this the most "warranty" friendly method of upping the power of the car besides the CAI. If you can really bleed off the the extra pressure before the MAP sensor and prevent the CEL that would notify your dealer that the boost pressure had been altered, then why not go for...

    MS3 Powder Coat+Tint

    I don't know how much a place would charge you to get it done. I know the materials are dirt cheap. If I had to pay I wouldn't pay more than $150 considering the cost of the materials plus the labor and time involved. You also have to keep in mind you have to pay to have the tires taken off, put...

    MS3 Powder Coat+Tint

    At the moment I really don't have anything planned for the appearance of the car. I'm spending my money on performance mods @ the moment. Looking to upgrade BOV and intercooler next. Just got my MS CAI, installed yesterday afternoon (pain in the butt).

    MS3 Powder Coat+Tint

    Got the wheels powder coated a couple of weeks ago for free at work. Made sure i lubicrated the edges of the wheels with grease to make sure they weren't chipped up when the tires were put back on. Btw, this car is a beating on tires. Got the windows tinted 35% front two and 18% for the rear ones.
