Not too sure how that would pan out, but it has got a mate of mine out of trouble before.
Mind you he was driving sedately and not asking for trouble.

Not if he removes all the seat belts and gets it registered as a 2 seater.

I in no way mean this as an insult by is the Process West Verti-cooler the equivalent of the poor mans V-mount? Assuming it has better airflow over a generic tmic whilst not having the lag associated with a fmic but not having the same surface area?

To me it looks like a great design. Plus remember with a v mount you lose AC etc. This looks like the best of both worlds minus the problems.

Happy with the VC TMIC. Was never interested in a front or v-mount set-up. I do want to cover the turbo and wrap the down pipe to reduce heat transfer to the 'cooler (especially when stationary) Kinda wish that I ordered the black one tho.

I am aware that I could get in trouble for the seats removed and prepared to take that risk. Doona cover was taken in to consideration for weight measurements and there is no drone with this setup.

Looking into tuning options now, got a couple of grand to spend on the car from the sale of a bike. Brakes will probably stay stock until they are shagged. Haven't got any definite plans for them, open to suggestions and it will depend on budget at the time.

Are you replacing your down pipe before tuning? If so try and get one with a flex joint in it, my x-force doesn't have one and it introduced some harshness and vibration to my car.
