Furst of all sorry for mo pics yet. The damn rain has been on me everytime I try and go out there. But the kit is awesome. I will get you guys the numbers later, but it looks to be a lot cheeper then any of the other ones out there yet. Also all you with the injen... it will fit. I will take pics tonight for you..
 
I belive that it's cheaper because wagners comes with a CAI because the INJEN doesn't fit theirs, from my understanding (not flaming theirs), and ION, well that's a whole different story. I can't wait to see more pics of this kit, I'm really intersted in this one because I dont' want to chop up my car. How hard does it pull for you now?

On a side note: How did you like the upgraded brake lines?
 
Here are the preliminary pictures. He had been working on it that day, doing some fitting and routing, so bear in mind that when these were taken, it wasn't the finished product at all:

interesting route for the IC piping....

oes the length affect efficiency of the IC?
 
Looking at the length of this application here, it shouldn't make much of a difference at all. Just think about all those mid-engine'd MR2's running around with front mount intercoolers, when the engine is at the back of the car.
 
They routed the piping that way to get it away from the manifold. They found that it made a substantial diff to route it the coolest way through the engine. As for the pull it is noticable. The car gained one pound of boost as well, so that may be it as well. It definately spools alot better though.
As a side note... Damn my car looks good.
The other side note... The brake lines are pretty cool. There is definately more response to the pedal. That and they look cool.
by the way sorry about the spelling in my first post.. To early...
 
Thanks spicy.....

I hear the price is $900.00, but the only problem I have now is that I sold my INJEN because I thought at the time that only wagner was making a kit with a CAI as part of the kit so I don't have one. Anyway, maybe I'll get lucky and HIBOOST will bust one out for me for a sweet deal that will go with the kit. I want to powder coat the pipes a nice titanium color to go with the car.
 
Yeah it was. They did it all last week. I thinbk that the price is going to be less then that, but I am not to sure yet. I will keep you updated..
 
if its 900 with a intake,....kinda high, ive ruled out IONs due to the price, the wagner looks good but still i would like to keep my intake..
 
I just talked to them and they think it is going to be $900 for the kit which includes the intercooler all the piping, the intake, all brackets, heat sheild, and the new BOV. They have to figure out the price without the intake still, but it will be less. I hope you guys like it..
 
It does not make that ricey fast and furious sound, but it sounds good. It is louder then the stocker, but not out of control. It is very crisp when shifting fast, but if you go really prolonged shifts then the turkey comes back. But you really have to try to get the turkey.. It is good to know it is still there in spirit though...

Gained a pound of boost? Nice, sounds like the length isn't restricting flow very much at all. Good stuff, looks great.
 
Anyone have the # for hiboost .. ive been trying to get in touch with them through email and on the forum but havent heard a word .. thanks
