Will install ASAP and bump up boost to the 14-15 psi range. Then I'll go to the track and be in the 12's in the 1/4 mile. It will be awesome and somewhat make up for my lack of female companionship. I am broke again. That is all... ![Banana :banana:](./images/smilies/banana.gif)

See, here's the deal. Just at the moment you get the S2 up an running and are void of any discretionary income, you will meet the woman of your dreams (women in magazines and porn stars do not count) You will then be forced to choose between a fast, sexy car and, well, sex. My guess is the car will go on blocks by that point ![Laugh :laugh:](./images/smilies/laugh2.gif)

Well, it came in Friday, and I started to install everything after lunch today. WHAT A BITCH! Pain in the ass to find a good place to mount both heat exchangers with good airflow when you have a BBS airdam over the early valance. Not much room to work with. I ended up mounting one directly behind the kidney grille and the other in the cutout just below the bumper. I think that one will get moved or at least adjusted, as it is rubbing on the aux fan bracketry, which is bad....Pics tomorrow...

OK, don't know what the intake temps are, but DAMN this thing screams now!!! I didn't even change the boost at all, still running 12 psi...
For comparison, this is how different it feels. Right now, with the A/C on, hot as hell outside, and after heat soaking at a traffic light, it feels like it did before with everything off and a nice cool 70 degree evening! Yes, it outruns its previous setup with the A/C on! Un-friggin-believable. Drivability has also improved by leaps and bounds...I love my car again!!!!
Here are some pics of the install....note where I had to mount the heat exchangers.

I have purchased a turbo cam from ppf(pure-pf.com) for an m20.
I was thinking of how many horses ya can get outta the s3 kit with a forged botton end and cam that freed it up a little more....
It'll be interesting to see how that cam performs. I assume it's not installed in anything currently running?
The stock 260 cam with good tuning makes hp almost to redline, the 264 out of a b35 head does even better. I'm not sure that a turbo cam can outdo the stock stuff in the midrange. Maybe up top.

I have sold it...the person who bought did a baseline dyno of 350 rwhp I believe.Jeremy wrote:It'll be interesting to see how that cam performs. I assume it's not installed in anything currently running?
