Lovely, but too pricey for me. It's less than $1k for me to add the 3rd radiator to the GTS bumper, but I don't want to do it if it adds any lift at all.
The lift is already there with the GTS bumper venting below. I doubt just adding the front radiator will change that much at all. It will still vent below. Its just made use of first.
Nice, I had my centre radiator sprayed Black so you can't see it. I got the up graded one from PWR. I will up grade the outside two later on as well and spray them black. My Stock GTS ones got beat up pretty bad with being open from new. Now they are all protected I can up grade the outers as well. Its hot down here. We are on Fire.....Literally at present. (And its not climate change. It's the moron greens that prevented the yearly back burns.)
next upgrade is sport bumper, the GT3 bumper won’t fit on the T. Also have AMS alpha intercoolers and SOUL cats. Cool air entering, hot air escaping
the GT3 bumper on your car looks great.
spoke the the shop manager Saturday, he showed some really nice tuning curves for a 2017 S w pdk. Asked if he’d any problems. He said they start seeing problems above 575hp, ie ECU will pull back so they limit hp to 575 and torque to about 550 for that car. He said then it runs great. Their preferred custom tuner is Protomotive.

No brother, I am in Brisbane. The other side of OZ. Perth is the West Coast, I'm on the East Coast. I'm not in any danger, but I feel like I am smoking two packs a day for the last month.
AMS intercoolers were one of the first things i did with the COBB. I have Akra cats, and Vektor headers. I may go catless if I upgrade the turbos. Which is looking likely.
Sorry, bad memory on my part regarding Perth. Never been to east coast. 4 times, one month each trip to Perth in 2016 for work. Don’t think there is any further travel. But, I planned my trip ok, missed the Melbourne F1 but went to Singapore F1
This is the first turbo car I've owned and will be tracking. Is the 3rd radiator number 1 on the list of track mods? I have the pads/oil/tires ect. I am definitely going with another cobb tune through BGB. Thanks, it's been awhile since I've posted on forums.
Congrats and welcome!
Not knowing your experience level I would say that you will indeed want pads, stock Pirelli's for me put my car out ahead of the GT3's & RS's at the track but you will want to add a little camber front and rear. I did put in the third radiator but the car did not need it, turns out the DIC is not correct and I thought my oil temps were soaring and according to other data it was in the low 220°F range. What it does need, since you have a tune are intercoolers, water/meth injection, compressors, exhaust..... not all are required but the goal of each is to reduce the heat of compression so you can reduce the intake charge temps. Even with a very mild tune you may find that you intake temps are in the 180°F on a 80°F day.
If all goes well I will be able to post some data on the exhaust restriction reduction on intake temps and a set of intercoolers.
It's officially time to deliver Big Bird. Here are some final pics! I even got the seat heaters to work on the carbon fiber folding bucket seats. Keep an eye out for the yellow beast!
Whats that deck lid? I feel like your holding back on us here!
I added the Techart Kit because then we owner wanted a rear wing. I'm sure a GT2RS rear wing could be made to work with the intercooler scoops but at what cost? This was simple and effective and now the car is done and headed north.
