Btw, I seriously doubt the 20hp gain from the Takeda. That's a heck of a lot of power, best bang for your buck is the downpipe and even that won't give you 20hp tuned. It was just hot and accumulated quite a bit of heat soak- didn't work too well with my blower.

Your IMID display. I just use its temperature reading as a reference point to compare my logs to. I would recommend the AEM, it's fairly shielded it it's location as long as you don't submerge the front end of your car in about 8"-10" of water. The install is a bit more technical but I feel...

I ran both. The Takeda 'may' have better flow dynamics because it's more of a boxed SRI design but it sure runs a heck of a lot hotter than my AEM I have in the car now. Talking +25 degrees above ambient compared to +10 or even less if you remove your driver fog. I axed the Takeda because it...

Do you recall which wires to snip and extend to the IAT sensor? And does it affect the ECU that the IAT's will read higher?

I built a cradle out of aluminum angles, square rods with rivets and brazed it all together. I ended up bolting it to the crash bar and supporting the bottom from the AC condenser support. Here's a picture of it while I was mocking it up.

IMT supplied me with 6 additional bolts to use with their aftercooler. I opted for the .25" phenolic spacer because it was more affordable and I already have a few belts I can try to fit in. I managed to install everything today, HX, Reservoir and pump... just going to pull the blower tomorrow...

That's using the older pre-production A/C line spacer. They revised the space and installed a bracket on the blower itself on the production kits. It sits more than a inch above and to the right of the pulley itself. 0 chance of rub. That's an older picture. :)

I'm receiving my kit tomorrow. However, the mounting brackets will take a moment to design. They have a local car they're going to take measurements on.

They know that the their HX design won't fit because the mounts differ from the 8th gen SI's. But the rest of the stuff CAC and Phenolic Spacer looks like a win.

Another local member may be willing to let IMT borrow his car. They will be able to take measurements and create a CAD for the heat exhanger and pump bracket. If he pulls through this will expedite its development. Instead of me trying to collect the data and transmit from across the country...

Yeah. There are 3 phillips screws that fasten the light assembly to the housing. It should be easy to fasten a small piece of mesh there.W

So, here are my findings: After a solid warm up and a couple of intersections my AFe usually runs at a steady +20 degrees over my I-Mid's temperature. Sitting at an intersection idling for 2-3 minutes it can reach +30 degrees. I installed my AEM CAI today and removed my fog lights and drove...

I've ran the Takeda with and without the housing and the housing definitely helps with the heat. I remember seeing IAT's in the high +30's and mid to low 20's with the housing. I'm really looking forward to the AEM.

Clearance from the new AC spacer was just enough to get the aftercooler in. A great improvement over the beta kit.

I installed the production A/C spacer and figured I knock out two birds with one stone. Here's the Aftercooler mock up.

Looking forward to it. Anything cold would help this blower.

I've been running a AFe Takeda for about 8 months, with the stock manifold, RBC and Supercharged. I'll tell you right now that it can run over 20 degrees over ambient. I just ordered the AEM intake and I'll let you know what the logs show. It's very affordable and will open some space for my...

You can install the supercharger with basic tools. You don't need to take it to a shop. From what I've been seeing they can charge upward towards $800 just to install. The installation is far easier than it was for the 8th gen because you don't have to touch your fuel tank and crush your...

Aftercooler is not in yet. Clutch was fully engage and I just sorta punched it... tires broke loose from a roll. Stocker HPS Pilot 3's.

I did the bypass. Temps in SoCal are nice enough to leave it year round. TB is much cooler than before.
