Iv got a few ideas on bumpers.....one was too make one like the drawing iv just posted on my cardomain page...
I can only dream about making it look like that!!....Here ...
or maybe a bumper like the CLK-DTM...mmmmmmm would trade everything for that car..............

I guess i will make the box seal against the bonnet....Il see what works out best....its goin to be alittle tight because of the IC piping though...

Yeh i would have liked to have had my filter down in the bumper....but i didnt want to run the IC piping the same way as factory.....its very tight....so i guess you will have to follow the factory piping if you use that opening for the intake......

Kewl yeh il check mine tonight too.....iv got an old HKS boost gauge my girlfriends sister stole out of some guys toyota starlet....LOL
I guess your right about lose of boost of most of the rev range if it is damaged.....dyno will help clear this...

oh i just remembered you have a pully kit.......i guess boost will come on faster due to the initially higher SC RPM.....but let us know how you get on....

Paul
