i had the god speed one and its really shitty, doesnt fit properly and quality is horrible get cxracing. its about 80-100$ more but waaayyyy better in every way and its perfect fit, plug you can keep your oem fogs.

The exact response I was looking for, thank you. Would you mind showing me the link of the exact one you got? And did you use the generic piping that came with it or did you get aftermarket? I've read about fitment issues with some of the generic piping.

actually i used the piping that cxracing made and sent me. and i didnt have any fitment issues at all with it. just a bit confusing on which way it goes on but they have close up pics of the exact car with intercooler and piping, which helps ALOT... and i got it from ebay but it is the cxracing company direct. link below

Perfect! Thanks a lot israel_jimenez. One last question, where did you relocate your A/C condenser to?

I don't think you can relocate it, properly anyway. You can either delete it or just put the intercooler in front of it like I did

FWIW there's no reason to pay the $350+ for that kit, I pieced my kit together for under $250 with the same dimension intercooler

Intercooler:

Piping (i couldn't find the exact one I bought but this looks almost identical):

The connections should be fine, I just bought higher quality ones just in case
