This update reminds me of the "front grill" thread I was looking at the other day. I think the best front grill mod is an intercooler!

Congrats, looks great. I'm SUPER jealous. biggrin.gif

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

IS that a 4" core? I am also curious about the sound too!!

98 Celica gt red- totaled deer94 Celica st black DD (bad weather beater)- totaled deer95 Celica gt silver- chassis sold88 Celica All-Trac (Burned to a crisp)94 Celica gt white (sold)In need of a rust free chassis!!!!
man that intercooler is bigger then my 3rd gen 3s!.......well nvm!!!!!!!!!!! i still like that on your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you know WHAT!!!!!!!!! I LIKE IT!!!
wow, its a shame to see the bumper back on the car smile.gif

You really REALLY need to do a custom job to show that bad ass intercooler off!!!!
yea i DO wanna do something with the front to show more of it off. yes its a 4" core. and the sound has change tremendously.

ill try and do a sound clip when i get a chance... it seriously sounds like an aircraft. The high pitched sound you hear when they are coming in for a landing. it starts off a little soft and then it just SCREAMS!

Om may just be that wonderful whistle...
yea its more of a whistle. but it just reminds me of an aircraft with the high pitch it makes.

Possibly more pressure loss through that IC and its making the turbo work harder for the same boost?

I wonder if thats really what it is?

yea im pretty sure thats it. cause there IS pressure loss. i needed to adjust my boost controller so i can hit my 8lbs.

Spoke to my tuner today. Going in on May 13th to up the boost to 10 and get re-tuned Hoping to make Much more power now that the boost creep is fixed and he can actually tune it PAST 4.700 RPM.
