Nope, and we have no idea... Garrett is not really in our good graces right now. It will come eventually I suppose, maybe next year.

I'll give a mutual thanks, it's been a lot of work and it still needs some, but it'll all be worth it when it's on the track next spring!!

Hope you can make it Eric, I'm leaving at 3AM so I wont be around, the rest of the crowd will be though.

Not sure where in CO but I do know that its at a subcontractor that makes their backing plates and the huge backorder problem comes from their a problem with their previous backing plate manufacturer. It's a bad situation but I'm just glad that it was falling behind schedule and not a back ordered turbo that was keeping us from getting the car to VIR

If you were cutting away at the bumper support why didn't you choose to v-mount the intercooler and radiator?

Doesn't that make the frame twist more w/o a bumper support core?

Intercooler is too large for a v mount...

bracing infront of the strut towers does minimal to brace the structure of the car.

Not entirely true my friend. You patched it up with beefy tubing though, it's fine now.

I do have to ask why you put the oil cooler in front of the intercooler. I'd favor it going above the intercooler because as it sits right now it's sort of an interwarmer at times.

Ahhh well, wait till you see how we'll keep that cooling under control. That was the most convenient place to mount it and the lack of the tig in the garage means no welding plates or brackets on intercoolers and oil coolers, feel free to crutique away, anyone. But, are you gonna volunteer the use of materials and tools? ahh didn't think so.

If you compare the footprint of the oil cooler and the intercooler I think that you'll realize that the difference is minimal at best.

the heat off that oil cooler is not going to be anywhere NEAR enough to make any type of noticable difference as far as intake temps go, although I personally have my oil cooler mounted in place of where the factory sidemount would be located, your idea is pretty cool
