Since I see several topics looking for things for our GTs and non GTs. Ive decided to make a one stop topic for links and discussions for Mods and Performance Upgrades.
I'm running Koing Oversteer@Olszewski unless I'm blind or just plain old missing it....what blacks wheels are those?
How did you get through that thick plastic? I messed with mine for almost an hour and could not figure anything out? I even tried removing the nuts, however could not get the one behind the brake booster.It took me about 30-45 minutes, I did not install the fuel wire, I will come back and do that later.
Most of the time was spent taking the odb2 wire through the firewall and removing/ installing the intake.
It was pretty simple overall.
I need to update the firmware too.
@Olszewski do you have an image of your fuel wire connection? I am going to try knocking that out this weekend.
Here is where I routed my odb2 wire, I pulled it through with my amp power wire.

You will need to get new couplers. Few guys in the FB group bought it last night after I posted it there. They are running Wagner intercooler. We went over couplers needed. I'll post here when it's fitted on.You think they have the connector to go to the Wagner intercooler??
Please do, I'm very interested in this one.You will need to get new couplers. Few guys in the FB group bought it last night after I posted it there. They are running Wagner intercooler. We went over couplers needed. I'll post here when it's fitted on.
Awesome.You will need to get new couplers. Few guys in the FB group bought it last night after I posted it there. They are running Wagner intercooler. We went over couplers needed. I'll post here when it's fitted on.
Awesome. I ordered one also then went looking. Something like this is what I was leaning towards.You will need to get new couplers.

I have 2.5 couplers on my Wagner ends.@Olszewski
Do you recall if the Wagner IC is 2.5" on the outlet?
You can try but length might be the issue trying to get to fit.Couldn’t you just use the one they provide that’s suppose to go to the TB down on the Wagner and just get the 45 2.5-2.25?
Most these big companies get couplers lengths special made than what we can get from online stores. The ones we can order can be trimmed if needed. That's the only concern. We also don't have someone that has this hand yet to get measurements. "Should" key word at the moment. We are taking educated guesses right now. Once we get those that bought it to go over it we will know exactly what is needed. Waiting game now. 😎 I'm on SXTH cold pipe using a 90 degree 2.5-2.25 Intercooler to cold pipe coupler just because how SXTH designed it and thier bends. AFE looks different.You should just need a 2.5" 45° elbow if running the Wagner IC since both the pipe and the outlet on the IC are 2.5".
I watched your vids bro and those aren't shitboxes. Granted the "Pop n Bang" tunes aren't necessarily power adder tunes but they're still tuned and you raced cars that obviously didn't go for attention and went with actual power tunes. So regardless of what other people say, no hate to anyone on this forum but I like your content so there's that. 👍Thank you for the views. I'll be adding more content soon.
The exhaust has pops from factory. Mainly on cold starts and sometimes with a 3-4K rpm shift. There isnt really a way to get pops n bangs all day long but a cat, resonator and/or muffler delete will make them louder and more noticeable but it will add noise to the cabin especially under acceleration but the burbles on decel are worth it imo. I have a borla sportsman put where the resonator was on mine with a second cat and muffler delete. Theres a video of it on this forum somewhere, just click my name and look at my posts. Not to toot my own horn here but i will say it goes hard in the noise dept. A pop n bang tune rarely does much for performance as it's a showoff tune more than a power adder tune so I wouldn't worry with that anyway. Good luck and have fun.what do you think would be the best way to get pops from the exhaust without a tune?
Thank you, very much appreciated. Content has slowed down in my area. I haven't posted any new stuff in a while. Almost had a G35 S video few days ago. He said na because he saw my car and mods at a local car meet. A Elentra N also but we were not able to get safe clear road to line up. It's been very hard to find safe line ups and cars to line up with in my area since my commute is 7 or 10 miles daily.I watched your vids bro and those aren't shitboxes.
