Engine bay looks compact as hell. And is that a steering kit (rack and pinion)?

Good stuff.

Looks great. Do you have any cooling issues with the intercooler mounted right infront of the radiator? What are the dimensions of that intercooler?

Na never had a cooling issue.. The car still has the front vents to direct the AIR into the intercooler and i had the stock rad. before and now I have the Griffin so it should cool even better.. Another thing you can not see my intercooler from the front of the car.. I will post some pics of the front of the car...

Tires are pretty big, even without the IC out front, not many people would want to mess with you with a stance like that.

Interesting hood graphics too...

What are the dimensions of the intercooler. If you don't mind me asking, what brand is it, and where did you get it?

I'm about to swap in a turbo 13B also. That's why I ask. Don't worry, mine wont be as pretty as yours, or as fast from the looks of that turbo.

Nice job, how much of an improvement is the rack and pinion?
