"step 1. throw away crash bar?" what do you mean.

boost im still running stock but as soon as i installed the front mount i was getting limp mode so bad cause when i took out the boost restrictor pill it would spike to 14psi and drop back to 10psi, so every time i put the foot to the floor with the frontmount too much air went in and the map sensor didnt like it.

so i put a boost controller on the vacume line were the restrictor pill was and wound the controller all the way in.

im leaving it as is for now till im fabricate the top intake pipe than ill do fine tuning

sorry i do know what you mean and yea i got rid of it and made a new one (thats a trade secret) and the bar is plastic welded and yes i have done it all the Bar (cutting and plastic welding) and fitting the frontmount and piping.

plus i did all the artwork if you didnt know (there is a lot of detail and i spent a lot of time on it) hehe.

Thats really cool!

All this is your own work?

How much would a job like that on the bonnet cost?

Thanks everone for the great response, yes i have done all the work myself (why pay and wait for someone else to do it when i can, haha).

If i was to reproduce what is on my bonnet i would have to charge about $1800 as there is so so much detail its insane, plus i would do it from start to fin also i clear in polly so no rockchips for me.
