Dealer is throwing it on for me at the first service on Tuesday. They are already doing the side skirts while it’s there. They aren’t charging additional labor for it.

Finally got around to getting more parts installed.

do88 Plenum & do88 Big Pack Intercooler. Shame all of this is covered by the rear bumper.

It’s a joke son, it’s a joke. Even if the wheels were identical circumference . . . One turn of the steering wheel of any amount in any direction and such alignment would be eliminated.

Love the interior of that plenum.
I do wish someone would come up with a guard for the turbo pipes that are exposed to the rear wheels!

iirc all that is normally covered if you have stock headers.

Awesome Matt. Let us know your thoughts after a few test runs.If you do not mind me asking, why did you choose do88 over CSF ? The do88 parts look great.

I’ve been needing to do these same mods I assume you have a tune? The IC mod is a necessity for cars running higher boost. I would love to see your intake temperature after the mod

The CSF intercooler looks great, price was great from M Engineering, however the do88 had all the accompanying CF shrouds, and aluminum and silicone intercooler hoses as well. When I dropped a quick note to the M Engineering guys about what my best options were, they did recommend the CSF intercooler, but they also mentioned they were using do88 hoses and piping as further upgrades. While you could buy the piping from do88, those fancy carbon fiber shrouds (even though you cant see them) hooked me in. It was simply the more complete kit.

Tuned with M Engineering, they have been amazing to deal with.


On a side note, I picked up the car this morning, I'm in Houston so it was 103 degrees when I picked up my car. While I haven't sent new logs to M Engineering, the low end range 3k to 5k felt peppier, might be pure placebo though 😂

Unfortunately not and if the exposed pipe is ruptured by road debris, while the engine is running, the damage to the turbocharger, intercooler and engine can be quite extensive.

Yes did the ceramic myself. No issues. Just take your time...measure twice. Apply and I let them stick/stay overnight or at least 8 hours before slowly removing the backing. Good quality. No problems yet. GL

Decided to just install side skirts and front splitter myself. Extremely easy install done on the ground without a lift.
