lol... so I am not the only one who seen that too. Also how you going to afford all this custom work but not have enough to buy a digi? First thing I would have done is buy a camera so I can record the progress.

OK for those who can't get it the intake is made up of;
a redline filter pod
titanium intake pipe with OEM rubber hose over the top
and a small water-to-air intercooler RATED for a twin-turbo
Note: NO TURBO'S
It's still running NA through an intercooler designed to cool the air charge down without dropping the pressure too much so I can get more power out of it.
How do you think I could manage twins with compression up that high?!
I live in Australia, and the reason I worry about defects even with the certificates, is that though the mods are OFFICIALLY legal, if the cops here are in a bad mood (frequently), and see 1 thing that's shinier than normal, they'll bust you for it, and go looking around the car for other mods to bust you for. An example is one kid got busted for having a fancy bodykit, because it was "poorly fitted", or one that was in the papers, a guy had just bought a new car and was driving home, got pulled over, and busted for his STOCK foot pedals, his car was impounded because it was "unsafe to drive" barely an hour old!. Also a P plater lost his licence because he had his stereo up too loud! Half the time they don't care about the certs, they're mainly for the RTA so I can keep it registered anyway.
Some of the parts I made the others came from HKS, APEXi, Injen, Top Secret Japan, and a few other places, the bootlid came from precision plastics and composite supplies down the road, made exact to specs.
Personally I swear by the service at Top Secret they'll custom make anything at the highest quality as long as you can afford it, they're pretty much the best parts you can get, especially for Japanese cars. Check them out at www.topsecretjpn.com .(shameless plug there!)
The more power due to weight reduction was a figure of speech, you know what I meant anyway.
Plus I'm concentrating on getting the car up and running for show and go, rather than getting a camera, and how are you meant to take photos to record the progress if it's a sleeper, until I do the interior anyway?!
