*PICS* DSM side mount *PICS*
Minimal modifications to the intercooler. One inlet was sawed off(very easy) to make it straight and allow the pipiing from the turbo to line up. Piping was fexible exhaust tubing (not the most efficient) from Autozone- cut to fit and VERY cheap. Couplers were obtained very cheaply from the plumbing section of Home Depot.
All work was done by me -except my dad did my fan. The fan is as sturdy as it gets. Ghetto Supastar!
Any questions?

I figured that a side mount doesn't get as much flow as a front mount so I mounted an oil cooler fan (perfect size as you can see ) to get more flow through it.

APEXi kit rules....btw mantis what rpms are you getting full boost at in 1st and 2nd gear? It seems like i hit full boost a LOT sooner in the higher gears when i'm going moderately fast. Didn't you used to have a starion FMIC?

I think you're referring to bret(?) or something with the HX. I've read that the starion is more inefficient than a stock eclipse. I guess that's why the eclipse guys never get the starion one (that's what I heard).
