[s-cars] Larger Intercooler ~ front mount GP (sort of) interest

[Sandy Sligh]

I agree with Bruce. WI > FMIC. Of course, Bruce is
using the S4 to control my thoughts somehow.

However, less $$$, less labor to install and i
*believe* the new 2D setup from Aquamist has
everything you need plus the signal amp and high speed
valve. In addition, i think the signal amp has a low
fluid detection circuit that can be used to trip an
alarm or to dial back the boost or what have you.

And most importantly, results. I like the idea of
running at full boost on 93 octane.

my $0.02
