Intercoolers run plastic end caps that have a tendency to leave the engine bay much over 14psi, you strap em to the cooler body to run more boost lol[/quote]

i swear, if you wanna see how flimsy the panels are, push in the roof with your finger- it does a lot dont it

THEN, remove the roof lining and do it again the fookin roof lining seems to be about half the fucking things strength
