BTW, what's that small black component up over the top of your IC that has piping coming off it?

It's my power steering cooler. I got a larger one and decided on there.

The Greddy bumper gives a good 30% more airflow. Notice the Kurookie only gives face area to 50% of the IC (most of lower tank).
I have not had any problem with my Kurookie but I do wish the IC opening was larger. I lost that vote 99:1 since I am the only one with an IC that large on a sedan. LOL

The vote for a taller center opening on the Kurookie.

Nice, so you were part of the input/engineering team who designed the Kurookie?

And guys, I really should either change this thread or go with a new one. I really need to know which bumper fits best with the APS TT Extreme kit. I'm going to email a few North American APS distributors to see if they have any suggestions.

Viet (SN Rookie) was the mastermind behind the bumper. We all put in our $0.02. It's by far the best option for the sedans.

I can change the title of the thread if you like. Just let me know what you want it to say.

Can we change it to "Which front bumper works best with the APS Extreme TT intercooler" instead? Just want to make sure I'm gathering relevant responses and not letting the thread head in a direction of litte value to me.

Thanks,
B

As Terry said.....The Beast is using KurumaZ

That beast looks sick! I can't wait to get mine done. That's a GTM twin turbo kit?

Nice, so GTM's kits can be upgraded in stages? So when I get "sick" of 600whp I can just swap out some parts, tune, and voila?

If so, I may need to seriously consider a GTM kit.

If you have a JWT 700BB....you can upgrade to the 850BB using the same manifold......Going to GTM GT35r, I had to change the manifold, downpipe, and a few other piping.

BUT...if you already have the GTM GT30's and want to upgrade.....I thing you will be good to go.
