Default Read it and weep, my final V-mount set up

So today, I woke up, and I decided that I was going to finish my proper V-mount. The old set up was only temporary since my DD car got totaled and I was forced to drive my FD around. I had to make it running correctly so I could at least drive it without worrying. Anyway, I finished this today, move the IC again, got rid of the temporary bracket and the zip ties, and mounted it flush to the a/c condenser. This set up won't need as much ducting and will be better overall. It also keeps the IC farther from the heat soaking with the twins, and after riding home today, the IC seemed to be cooler then the temp set up I had before. It runs good, no boost leaks yet but I have only tested it up to .5 kpa and since it was raining I didn't really get to test out throttle response, but the pipping is almost the same and only a few inches longer so it should be good. Eventually, once I get a welder, I will make some custom pipping so that it's a more direct path for the airflow, but right now it's not a priority.

anyway, pics below, (sorry it's from my crappy iphone but it's all I had at the time)





all that's left is the dual fans, they will be coming in, in about two-ish weeks...
