Charge Piping Performance Kit from CIA Installed

I only have the hot side done at the moment.

I will update later for the cold side.

From what I understand. I am the only one from production that ordered this kit?

Taking off the plastic ****.....




The CP....



Fixed the vaccum problem for Hahn




and the final look




I like this look.


and its not too difficult to get to the oil filter. still harder on the SC

I know this is probably a pointless comment, but how fast would a fully bolted untuned car spool the turbo. I would think it would spool almost instantly.

stevo, how much of a pain was it to install the lower portion (cold side). I was looking at it from my car, did you get underneath to install it?

Did you remove the front facia or were you able to get to everything easily without having to do that?

**** looks badass man!! I like what you did with the Hahn intake piece, the fix looks good. Hahn sent me the extension piece, but for some reason I cant get the other piece that came with the intake off, so I have yet to put the extension piece on yet.

Thanks for the write-up. Looks good. The cold side takes between 2 and 2 1/2 hours with the car on ramps. I just went out and did an install at a customers home last weekend. Just pop a couple plastic panel bolts out the bottom and you can simply pull the plastic cover down underneath to access the intercooler. Cold side is a bitch but it seems customers still prefer to go with both sides.

We definitely sell the hot side only.

Man, I'm really wondering about the cold side. Everybody dislikes doing it and says it takes forever to do. I'm wondering what the main problem with it is and why it takes so long... basically just because it's a really tight space?

how much of a loss would it be to just do the hot side? is it more of a cosmetics thing if i just did the hot?
