I have no idea what else you have on the car. I see the APS cold air. If you are running the stock turbo. Do you notice greater tubo lag with the new IC?

okay the weight is actually the same if not a few pounds lighter than the stock USDM bumper beam, so it is really pound for pound.

the extra hoses is my EBC (Profec E01) and crap. no guages yet but I am going to do a autometer subaru bezel mod, I think.

I finished the install totally today and I even re ran the stock IC Spray nozzle using some vacuum hose and the pressure and spray pattern is also the same as stock so I get an even spray on the intercooler. BADASS install for my first real do it your selfer MOD

ask away and I will try and answer questions.

I will take final pictures as soon as the sun rises tommorow and post the pics tomorrow sometime during the day as soon as I get done installing brake lines in my boys Civic

Yeah, I've seen pics of that APS FMIC. They look badass. Really nice!

How hard is it to route the IC piping?

Can't say you should or shouldn't. You might want to get the standard gauges first. I think it would be a useful add-on to other gauges come engine management time, reflash or dyno tune. Gadgets are always cool when they serve a purpose.

regular price 350 for a digital thermometer? I don't think so, this would be a cool device to have, but you could make one yourself for a hell of a lot less,
