I thought it was a spicy one, the little port in the front is for a compressor speed sensor which is some high-tech shizzle right there.

Pretty sure the WRC cars use that for boost control instead of a pressure signal.

anyone tried the aftermarket top mount intercoolers for gc8 off ebay.im talking about the chinese made ones.same as the ones autobahn88 supply on ebay.they say they are direct bolt on but the core is 30mm thicker than standard.so wouldnt that mean the red 90° elbow that connects to the compressor outlet will sit 30mm lower.meaning it wont really bolt up using my factory y pipe..would rather one of these than the front mount setup

What version GC8, V5-V6 is easy enough to fit a V7/8 STI TMIC.

Others have done it on earlier versions to but its hard I think.

You see them for a lot of n/a motors - esp. a lot of hondas & suzukis and the like

I think the theory is similar to expansion chambers in dirtbike exhausts? (but... in reverse) or something - something to do with (as said) intake velocity or whatnot

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
