So does this eliminate the SMIC...?

Don't trust a company/product that makes hp claims without backing it up with a dyno sheet. Sure, it's a cool idea, and a new design to get excited about, but without a before and after dyno sheet, I say BS.

If this post goes through, I'll do a dance....

^ahahahaha

Do you see what I mean about the IC pipes though? The filter is in the stock location, (actually, I don't even see a filter) but the tube completely wraps around to the SMIC from over the top? How does that design not suck up MORE heat?!? The cross-over pipe is over the engine instead of under the radiator. This design is so confusing.

that pipe should be going to the compressor inlet, not to the IC.

Which doesnt make sense why its going to the rear of the bay.

I sent the company an email requesting to donate my car for testing and advertising their product. Hardcore DIY/writeup/in depth review style. I'll even take my car to the dyno before and after. We'll see what happens.

Exactly.


I'm curious as to what they write back to onepoint8tee.

I doubt they'll go for it. They'll probably think it's just some kid looking for a free mod. Worth a shot though, and if the dyno results are positive, then more power to em (and ME!)
