[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16400589, member: 7795"] [ATTACH=full]1634017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634015[/ATTACH] That is good you’re addressing the biggest restriction (lower intake and intercooler core). It’s interesting that they’re cutting the entire rear bypass section out. That is the biggest area covering access to the core for cooling/airflow. As you see in the stock pics, that ‘shelf’ bypasses airflow to the internal bypass valve on the supercharger and the ‘wall’ blocks blower discharge air from accessing the core. As you see in the pics of the black intake on my car, extensive work has been done to fit the KB Bigun core then cut out the ‘wall and shelf’, with welding in a new plate to keep the area for the bypass. It would be awesome to just cut that whole area out. When I’ve talked to Justin, we discussed this and me sending in my stock lower intake to fit the new VMP core and max port the lower, potentially cutting out that whole bypass shelf to give full unrestricted access of blower air to the core. Hopefully that’s what you can accomplish as I believe you’ll the same fully ported 3R I do. Here is a pic of the stock intake and the modified black (heat resistant paint) KB equipped intake on my car. -J [/QUOTE]
