I might want to love myself more.....

Picture says many more words though it may not be a thousand words.....

Intercooler pipes misaligned.....

The misalignment came after the snail 'adjustment'.....

Now a SAMCO hose served as a protector against the piping hitting the bodywork.....

The world's best air filter in its rightful place.....

HKS unit was returned and now lies the K&N.....

However I did not really like how K&N oil it as it doesn't seemed enough.....

Nothing new on the outside but sure is inside.....

I got this to ensure the ceramic wheel on the exhaust side is not going to be problematic.....

But was pleasantly surprise to see that the compressor wheel are a tad bigger.....

Now hopefully the metal turbine wheel is going to give a peace of mind over the ceramic wheel.....
The words RB25 Upgrade are really uplifting.....hehehehe.....

These below are the current turbo.....the inlet are thicker on the inside but are way more robust than the new unit.....

Trade-off for more airflow.....

How everything look when there's no cover with the old snail.....

Snail in place.....

DIY on the carpet.....back right door.....

Deterioration has caused the carpet to shrink a little and sometimes the plastic scuff plates on the sill can't hold the carpet.

So I did some DIY by using a seatbelt and stapling it to the carpet....

I also manage to attach some kind of holding mechanism using clips and aluminum strip.....

As you can see above, the separation is quite large at 10mm.....

Nothing to be really proud of as you can see that the staple are visible in pictures below.....

At the very least it is not coming out now.....
