new intercooler?

new intercooler?

stock ecu. i was doing a pull obv but my temp before that was still about 215. is that normal? summer’s coming up in pa and even though its not as bad as some other regions, i dont have a garage so the car is gonna be out in the sun 24/7. should i go for an aftermarket intercooler? i plan to get tuned soon for my vt intake and some QOL things and i can get retuned if necessary. thanks

badgeskins vs iilumo drls

i loved the badgeskins but that white light bleed around them always bothered me. looks great during the day when the lights are off but the illusion is kinda ruined when it gets dark.

since i got over my fear of the bumper with the velossa tech install, this wasnt all that bad. the worst part was removing the old drl boards from the heatsink which wasnt super easy even with the heat gun. i had to do some troubleshooting at the end because for some reason the right one was working but the left one wasnt. redid the whole process and then it worked so that mustve been an error on my part. whole process took me 3h but without the troubleshooting it would probably take anyone else 2h 15.

i love the look of the slotted drl vinyls from badgeskins so im gonna see if i can get one in clear so i can keep that look but the complete lighting from the iilumo lights

velossa tech big mouth

holy hell this was a doozy. it was my first time taking off the bumper so i was really nervous about breaking the clips on the sides but it worked. installing the intake itself wasnt that bad but holy hell that radiator shroud was so irritating i tried using the dremel to cut it but i ended up tearing it off because i was on a time crunch. after getting it in and on i like it; shouldve gone with the black body instead of the red but i dont hate it. my only issue is that to power it, it just uses a round terminal for constant power instead of a fuse tap. I’ll just have to figure out how to do that one myself but i still like how it looks. only irritating part is remembering to turn it off with the app whenever i leave the car

my limited knowledge of cars has taught me to fear the speed of one without a bumper. but something tells me the owner is just down on their luck. hoping an easy repair for them

chester, PA. if the owner sees this, that performance blue is really eye catching and it looks great
