took console out and cut a hole for wires
I like your switch panel alot, i need to run a new fuse box for these
how do you hook it up, and also that new 12v for the GPS, where does the other end of that connect to? just a positive term? or or you need to ground it, well duh you have to, but how do you have it hooked up?

well theres no real reason to be a big fan of that. your engine can only take in x amount of air. having 2 filters does nothing because you cant change how much air your taking in. also pvc has pretty poor heat reflection qualities

Turbos have come a very long way. Really no downside esp. With an auto. Gas mileage is way better then super charger too... plus they sound sweet.
