A link or a short description would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Honestly it's coming down to design and efficiency. The flow characteristics of our intercooler is very high. This allows you to run very high hp levels, with minimal pressure drop or lag. At the boost levels we're running this intercooler is more than enough. Even though it holds higher hp levels, a larger one will start to benefit when you get closer to the 20+psi range, and higher temps. Cooling is key, but overkill isn't. The IC we choose is very adequate for a 400hp car.

im already boosted on a custom setup, any way the engine management system can be purchased separate? (if im interested after unveiling)
The engine management system will be available seperately. We're not boycotting everyone else out there for turbo kits. We're trying to make it better for our kits, and anyone else out there looking to tune their motor.

Ignition & Timing Control?
We have a lot of tricks coming. I can not answer that question yet, but everything is being addressed trust me. We can't afford to just blow a motor from lack of thought. You know myself, and the other members of Dezod will keep everyone updated here as to what new things are and will be developed.

Do you have any pics of the FMIC stuffed in the OEM bumper. Just curious to see if it fills it up..Not a fan of seeing pipes, just nice and clean with the core. If that makes sense...lol

Does the last pic in my first post help at all? I could post one more head if need be, but I think that should help a little bit.

As soon as I know it's developed enough to be released I will make everyone aware. I want to make sure everything is 100% before I ship it out.

Thanks for your interest though and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

So if i did decide to go with a larger intercooler....would it kill hp, even if im running a safe boost or w/e is recomended?

You can go with a larger intercooler if you want. Thing is, there's the OEM bumper under your bumper cover. Any intercooler larger than what we use means actually removing the bumper itself just to fit the intercooler. Safety is still important to us so we're looking to maximize on performance without making sacrafices to safety and repair costs to you in case you crash your car.

I like everything alot, great job..

One thing I think looks cheap is the pieces of the dash painted blue, it really doesn't flow with the rest of the interior.. it really stands out.

Also, please take your car to the track, I'm dying to see quarter mile times.

It doest look better in person. But I actually already pulled the piece off today. I figured I'd tweak it and make it look more appealing while the car's at the shop.

New paint layout...
Aqua Blue Metallic
CrystalFX from Alsa for accents and the spoiler.
