Have anyone upgraded their intercooler?
Did you notice any changes after the new IC?

Love mine. Noticed a difference right away.
MPFAB intake, intercooler and down pipe. Top notch quality. No regrets. Also tuned, Forge BOV, and Bosch 42# injectors

Can you share some pointers on how to install the Forge BOV, I've had one sitting inside my car for like 6 months now and haven't had the chance to install it because I can't seem to figure out a way to do it without replacing the screws because I always manage to drop one. I had to get a little kid from down the block fish it out for me. I got him some chicken nuggets though so it was cool. I know there's a thread but none of the pictures ever seem to load.

Of course man. No problem. I just landed in Alabama and I may not have those pics with me. Might need them to refresh my own memory. But I remember it was tight. Use your left hand with a lonnngggg screw driver to loosen and with my right hand I held one of those long flexible pick up tools. The king you squeeze and it has a little claw that opens up. In the pick up tool claw I had it holding the magnetic tip of a magnetic pick up tool. And I just dropped it straight down and had it stick to the screw. When it comes all the way off, you just lift it out! Then on to the next one. Get them all broke loose first. Controlling 2 tools with 2 hands at the same time was a little nerve wracking. That and the angle you're bent over the car. Getting them back in will be a similar deal. You gotta get the screw stuck to the magnet at an angle you can put the screwdriver tip on it.
And don't mess around trying to snug one bolt. Get them all on at least a half turn first. If remember correctly the screw closest to the engine was tougher to get because the angle on the screwdriver was not straight on. So did that one first. Then you'll have press the BOV on with your hand and make sure the spring is seated correctly. I think I got it with my left and when it was situated good I reached straight down with my right hand to keep it in place and had my long screwdriver ready to reach back in with my left hand and snugged one bolt so it wouldn't pop out of place. Then the other two were easy. Lay a folded towel or something where you're leaning on the car and just know you're going to scratch the next out of your left hand. It's tight! But you know that already.
Best I can do from memory right now. If you want pm me an address I can email you the pics I posted before.
Hope this helps.

Hope that all made sense. Just looked at how bad that came across from my cell phone. The jist is there.
Tools I used:
Resting the magnet on the screw so when it comes out it doesn't drop and get lost.

Cool, I'll give it a try over spring break, any pointers on installing the MPFab IC kit though? I just bought one used, and I can't figure out why there's a hole in the longest pipe. It's a completely smooth hole so I can't see screwing anything in there o:

I know on his website on the pictures it has it but I don't know why, and I can't think of anything in the engine bay that would plug it up. Thanks for the help though

I think I figured it out. But since I bought it used and it didn't come with the hardware I'm looking for a nut and bolt in my grandpa's shop. 1 hour til work!
Holy crap dude, how much power are you making? This is honestly, like part for part, exactly the plan I'm building in my head. I may need to use you...lol
