Default LOL! My girlfriends comment about F/I

I have asked her what sounds cooler. To have a Kompressor type-R (we donīt use the word supercharger in German) or a turbo type-R

She said of coure turbo, hell Kompressor sounds like air (She must think on Kompressors for press-air) and turbo sounds like fast and power.

Do a custom turbo kit and just modify the AEM to add the rest of the intercooler piping onto it. The AEM will still do the part of running from the throttle body down into the fender well, then you can just attach a couple of bends to reach aroudn the bumper support to the IC outlet. No hurt feelings.

haha, exactly what i'm doing. i have the air filter for my turbo, and why not use the AEM CAI piping as the IC to TB piping? (with one small bend to reach the IC of course) just weld on a BOV flange, and you can still use it plus you don't need to waste $10 on a crankcase filter, when the AEM cai already has it setup. i term this kind of engineering GHETTO! but hey, it works

Uh no. You DO NOT want to blow boost into the valve cover...

Just an FYI there.

The Valve cover is directly connected to the crankcase of the engine via the oil drain holes in the head. If you boost the crankcase, you'll blow out seals, rings and cause all kinda of problems with your engine.

I thought about that, but I would rather her have some hurt feelings for a little while rather than me have to "ghetto" wrig somthing on my car. Hey, she'll get over it. Anyone want to buy and AEM intake?
