Well I got a new digicam so I took some nice pictures, would think that it would be nice to share it with the RDtib community.

Plus you don't see many boosted XD's around.





Another shot:



And the azz



And the engine/manifold heatshield shot lmao.gif



Yeah, it's the entry level kit, wasn't intercooled at time of picture, though it is now since... 4 days wink1.gif Pulls nicely.

Finally, a pic of my battery in the back, i'm so proud of my relocation laugh.gif


so, what do you think? nana.gif

Yes, I agree with you 400% thank god you cant see the messy wiring of the amp and cap, lol.

I will be dynamatting the hatch area soon and ALL those wires (except for a few) will be hidden from sight cool.gif

I appreciate the comments, thanks guys! fing02.gif

Also, you can't see it in the pics, but I've since added my FMIC and it looks BADASS

wow, looking good! how is that alpine turbo, was it worth it? are you using high octane?

looks like a very nice elantra... i always thought elantras needed bodykits to look good but i was wrong.

Thanks guys drillsergeant.gif

Yep, alpine turbo, I got screwed by getting the 13g instead of the 15t like they were advertizing on their website BEFORE changing it AFTER i told them when i realized i had a smaller compressor wheel in my hand... anywho... we arranged things now so it's all good wink1.gif

As far as how the kit performs... It is SWEET. I have to admit, it was nice just by itself, but when I added the intercooler, WOW! With 94 octane it would ping sometimes on low rpms even with the regapped plugs. It's understandable, intake temps were VERY high unintercooled! IMO not a single turbo car should be unintercooled on the face of the earth. But now, it runs like a champ, and everything is PERFECT since 5,000 km. And I even haven't had a single CEL, EVEN with the lack of a cat between the 2 O2 sensors.... lol

Though, the tuning on the unichip is PERFECT. My a/f gauge reads a nice value at all points in the rpm, and the fuel milage is the same if not better (did 7.2L/100km on my last trip this weekend)

Install took us maybe 10 hours TOPS, if I don't include the time spent looking for a 9/16 tap for the oil pan tongue.gif

Haha, bodykit... Nah, not for me. I wouldn't give up my drop for anything, plus, I don't see myself going sideways scraping the front bumper on every mall entrance there is hehehehe No offence to the bodykit guys, but, hey, it's not for a daily driven car laugh.gif

AS FOR THE TIBATHON, i know its in chicago, but when?
