Awesome. Thanks guys. Just ordered it from their website. I have to replace my bumper so while the bumper is off, I decided to do the belt wrap kit, upgrade IC pump and change HE. I think this will be a good start for the summer.

next items on the list are:
SC Pulley
and maybe just maybe, upgrade the TB to 82mm and get it tuned.

You don't have to wait for the TB to tune. A tune on a stock car is still fun.

What can one expect to pay for a tune?

PLM is the best HE for the money. And best also bc it bolts right up and the right mounts for the lower oil cooler. Others have to zip tie or rig the lower oil cooler.

PLM installation tips

You may want to read this thread before you attempt to install the heat exchanger. Sort of a "lessons learned" from my install.

I got a PLM in mine, bolts straight up, no bulge in the bumper, lower oil cooler bolts straight onto it, IAT temps dropped heaps after fitting, haven't had the SC switch off on me since, I also fitted an Bosch 010 Pump at the same time

I followed ^^ BBirdwell's notes from his Thread which helped me prepare for a few gotchas that I wouldn't have known about

Bumper off, Remove old HE, Fit PLM one with a couple of spacers, Fit New Pump (if applicable), Slight trim on the Bumper, Bumper on, Bleed System, Boosting ~3 hours

Can't complain

Easy as
