  1. I put a AWIC in my GT that I put together from the frozen boost site, thanks to Sarang dropping in a post of mine about intercooler setups.:)

    Sure it's a bit more complicated and certainly has more moving parts than a A2A setup, but they are both probably just as difficult to install as the other, once you're in that deep anyway.

     

    I used the AWIC because I didn't want to cut away any of the bumper support to fit the FMIC between the bumper and there are more size/shape options for the heat exchanger with AWIC over the FMIC setup. I haven't seen any ill effects from using it and it far outperforms my TMIC. I never noticed the heat effecting the performance over the summer, at least no more than normal. How does it compare to a FMIC on our cars... IDK?

    I never heard anything from Dave at Cryo about the car during tuning and it pulls like crazy... I slipped the tires in second gear yesterday pulling from a stop sign with some other fun cars. Had me grinning big time after that.

    Plus, it looks different under the hood than most GT's out there.

     

    I also used some extra 3" silicone tubing to make a snorkel to get cooler air to the box from under the car.

     

    Are you running a different radiator to deal with the increased heat load on the cooling system? Which one did you use if so?

    Also, which ports did you run the coolant from/to for the AWIC?

  2. I have the first one for my GT. The metal part is important for not melting :D

  3. the panel gap isn't great, but it's only a little bit more than stock if you can deal with that. Really it's basically about how well you drill the holes. The gap that is there in my picture is from the heads of the clips

    As for the emblem. That's a stock trunk emblem that I bought off ebay.

    The emblem has 1 female screw hole and a post.

     

    For the screw hole I used a screw and a washer and for the post I threaded a nut onto it. I also backed the whole thing with grey mounting tape

  4. I just got that grill from ebay. It took about 45 minutes of some work to get it to fit, but I'm pretty happy with it.

    You need to drill the holes for the plastic push clips, and I actually cut off 2 of the tabs on the lower part of the grill since I couldn't get them to work the way they wanted it to.

    IMO it looks better than the stock grill that's been plastidipped plastic albeit about as chintzy. But really I hate the chrome so I'll take either over that.

  5. Don't really have exact directions, but really it just sounds like you want independent control of your foglights, as in, the switch inside just turns them on/off regardless of the headlights being on.

     

    In practice, it's as simple as providing accessory power to the wire going to the switch/relay for the foglights.

     

     

    Either way, maybe this will work for you
