Looking great! (Though I reflexively cringe every time I see your old bumper under the lift, and think how easy it could be to crunch it.)

Question is where you would put the tank(s)?
GT2-RS style tank right on the frunk.

heres a pic-pretty tightly sealed imo

Yeah looks like a precision fit. Can you snap a pic of the cut you had to make in the cage in order to fit the Tial intake pipe?

Ok did the drivers side this afternoon. Here are the pics of the cage trimming as promised.

Not as much. While I might worry about something from the car on top leaking onto the car underneath, I would not expect to "forget" about that lower car before dropping the lift.

Haha-don’t worry I have drip trays to keep stuff from falling onto the other car. The lift sits on “locks” every 6 inches or so. Can’t drop the lift without releasing the lock-but I see your point about forgetting about the bumper under there-will try to ensure that doesn’t happen!

Interesting that some installs require more trimming than others. Is it the cage or the Tial tubes. The only trimming I needed to do was a small section at the turbo end on the left side only.




The AMS inter coolers did not interfere with the Tial tube installation.
