Hey, as far as charging your K&N it really isn't all that hard to do. What you do, is but a recharge kit from any auto parts place that carries it and it should last you for at least 3 recharges or more. I did mine the other weekend and it took me all of about an hour and trust me man, it does make a difference. I have got about 4 miles to the gallon better after doing the recharge and it doesn't seem to effect any thing as far a turbo lag....so here's a website....it's cheap, it's easy...

Hey Poot, I got another question. Where did you get your hard piping from? I want to change my stock soft piping to hard piping. I found some on ebay, but i am wanting to buy a Front Mount Intercooler in the future. I just dont want to waiste the money on hard piping now that will only follow the stock soft piping. But I am just wandering where you got it and how much it cost you?

I got mind off of Ebay. the Ebay brand "Bomz" is really cheap. after shipping and handleing its around 30 bucks versus a front mount which can reach 1000. so if you can afford a FMIC you can get a bomz. the only thing that I can say is definentally don't use the Bomz Filter. I mean it works, but it will create more turbo lag versus using a better filter.

Just keep the splash guard on your car and dont drive though a puddle that goes up to the bumper and the CAI will be fine. I never had a problem with the one i owned.

Hey Poot, I was wandering where did you get your intercooler piping. Not the Bomz intake. Where did you get your intercooler piping?

aww, damn dude. sorry.

I actually got it with the car when I bought it. Though I believe you can find it anywhere. Just go to Google and type in GReddy Intercooler Piping. It's the reg piping w/ a colour coating. not sure how it came from the factory. all i have is the final product.

This site has them, but i couldn't tell you if it's a good price or not.

to tell you the truth i'm not sure how much more horses it gave me. Though i can tell you this. It makes your Spooling and your BOV sound louder, which is very nice.

I've heard that the stock intake isn't very restrictive so you dont' add much except for sound and look when replacing it.

But i could be wrong.
