The Carbon fibre plenum is made here in Sweden.

The radiator is in stock place. Sweden is a cold country... I will have my fan start about 5 degrees C earlier. I will also do some new air intake. It´s also possible to have a thin fan in front of the IC wich is pushing the air thru all the coolers when you drive slowly (who does?).

The IC is made in Sweden but can be shipped if anyone wants.

About $1700 for a complete IC with all the pipes and hoses. Also includes mounting.
The C-fibre intake is about the same $, complete with trttle body.

Huge is better...
Not necessarily. Think of blowing up a balloon. The larger it is, the longer it will take to fill. This equates to turbo lag.

Usually you want to size an intercooler as close as possible to the demands. This will minimise boost lag. If the factory intercooler is 80% efficient, then all you can improve on is the last 20%. So if your new intercooler is 50% larger than stock, you are improving 50% on the 20%. So you only see a 10% improvement. Is 10% worth more lag?

But there is always the "OH WOW" factor.
