Mach V's header is only for a T3/T4. So, it won't work. Are you getting an aftermarket wastegate, too? If not, just port your manifold. Save a lot of money and get a good amount of performance still. The stock 2G manifold is quite fluid.

Spyonu2007 had a 1g with a 20G on it. I thought it pulled pretty solid. I myself couldn't find too much lag, but it's all in how you drive it. Just realize where you are in the rpm range before you decide to jump the throttle.

I rode in Mushon's 20G/air-water intercooler equipped GST to Cordova and back. It was plenty fast for me blink.gif

Is that Koyo rad thinner than stock? I don't want to cut up my fan shroud for the intercooler and would like a new radiator since mine has some slight surface rusting. I'm looking for something a little thinner if it's at all possible...

Not sure if you'll find one thinner as you start sacrificing cooling abillity when you do that. When I needed a new radiator I bought one from Silla. It was a good quality piece with brass end tanks and a copper core, which is easily repairable if it gets a hole in it. It was the stock size though.

What fan shroud are you talking about? The one that goes in front of the radiator between it and the bumper? If so, it most certainly does have to come out. I would suggest fabbing up a new one with some thin plexi or plastic. It's not hard.

No, I think it's just a little bigger, but not by much, it just bolted right on with no hassles what so ever, and the stock fans work with it, but thats with my pea sized turbo. You might have to get a slimmer fan set up for yours, which is what Im gonna have to do since Im getting the 20g.

Well I'm only getting a 16G. Sticking with the 14B for a while. Just looking for a way to simplify running the IC piping since I'm a total n00b with no friends w/ mechanical knowledge. Lol.

I believe there is a How-To on www.vfaq.com on how to run the IC piping and keep your stock fans.

And what you say about not having friends with technical knowledge is not true. That's why you're a member here biggthumpup.gif

Thanks, Im just too cheap to get the other seat. I guess Ill get the other one when someone complains about the stock seat. But they're usually to busy grabbing the "Oh Sh#$" handle to say anything else. Ill post up some pics of what Im working on today at the end of the day.

Sorry about the crappy phone pic, it's much closer to Kandy Red in real life.
