No ac n no power steering has a nice kick lol

and from being about 30lbs lighter from getting rid of the useless accessories that get put on the car to begin with...like AC

 

[protege321]

thank you.

No ac n no power steering has a nice kick lol

no power steering? do you have any pictures of your engine bay?

 

[justanothermp5]

AC is useless? im not sure about you but i use it alot, mainly to unfog my windows when i cant see but it is very useful

that car is going to be a pain to drive when its hot

 

[protege321]

i have made it through 2 new mexico summers and never used it once. i simply roll my windows down. as for fogging windows, the antifog stuff and using newspaper to clean the inside of the window eliminates that for me. i thought it through a bit before yanking it off the car..

 

[protege321]

so should i get an intercooler from altered customs or ebay? does it really matter, does quailty differ?

 

[Scorch03]

The core is identical. The piping on the other hand is not, in that the altered customs piping will fit and the ebay piping will need lots of modding to fit.

 

[protege321]

the core is identical.. that was my main question. ebay is alot cheaper though.

 

[boostedprotege]

yeah there shud b some pix in my .ain thread. but i have ac n power steerin i never took it out. but when i want i just remove the belts n u can def feel the difference. plus all the weight u can keep n the front is good . my car doesn't hook up for s***. n ur crazy i live in new mexico n i hate to not have ac in the summer way too ****** hot.

 

[protege321]

i dont mind it. (shrug)

 

[justanothermp5]

lol i live in NC and i always sweat my ass off during the summer so a little AC doesnt hurt
but its ur car so do what u want, and to the core, just get one off ebay
ur not going to be running big boost (i think) so it wont matter which core you get as long as it holds boost lol

 

[protege321]

yeah, not going to be running much boost yet.. are there any kits like the perrin fmic that was made for the msp that is discontinued now?

 

[boostedprotege]

U say ur not gonna b runnin much boost now...... but what a while ur gonna boost happy one day n keep wantin to turn it up lil by lil haha i even get the urge to turn it up lol its hard to not wana push more boost

 

[protege321]

anyone ever seen a fmic like the perrin?

 

[justanothermp5]

turbolife is a copy of the perrin, but it makes more power
he just had the last GB so you might be able to snag one off him

 

[protege321]

snag one off who?

 

[justanothermp5]

turbolife lol hes a member on here
just send him a pm and see if he has any extra sets left, he always gets extra when he does a GB to sell later

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Prepare for a broken wallet, $650 I think

 

[MP3Night]
