[@robertopicasso6618]

Great install! I am planning on purchasing this item soon and wondering if you went with the 2.5 couplers or 2.75 ones, wanting to know incase i go bigger turbo?

[@miamirice6840]

ninja getting in there without the. car on ramps!

[@DArias]

Small hands! Lol

[@JamesThomas-bd7kg]

Great video bro. Good install

[@DArias]

Thanks man!

[@timmcdonald2270]

Good install my man

[@DArias]

Thank you!

[@TrevorDouglasReed]

I see we replaced the piping from the turbo to the intercooler, what about the piping from the intercooler to the throttle body? Does the kit come with that piping too? I see other discharge kits with what looks like more piping than the EQT KIT.

[@aeunexcore]

The bottom hose that's up against that black cover on the engine side. Does that cover get hot? Is that hose going to be okay in the long run?

[@tomdarnell7105]

Nice video man. I see you took out the battery is that necessary?

[@DArias]

I actually forgot to mention that in the video. So it’s not necessary but I took it out because it gives much more room to work and only takes a minute to pull the battery so it’s worth the headache of fitting tools in tighter spaces than you have to haha

[@noahz2275]

God that blaze intake is huge 😂

[@DArias]

It really is 😂

[@patriley943]

Is the sound difference noticeably louder after this mod?

[@DArias]

So I have the massive intake and inlet so I didn’t notice a big difference on sound. If you have a stock intake or a less aggressive setup you should notice a louder induction. The one main thing I did get however is a much quicker and better feeling throttle response

[@Benihana81]

when i did this with my car it was definitely a not so fun install for what it was, when I had to revert back to stock it was even worse to put the stock pipe back in. Damn california.

[@DArias]

Really? I found it to be pretty simple but I guess compared to other installs I’ve done it doesn’t seem too bad haha and California always killing the car guys. Beautiful state but horrible laws

[@cftillusion371]

Hey man I’m curious as to how much went into mods to get your s3 to where it is rn I’m on the fence between the s3 or s4

[@DArias]

My current setup rn I have about $6k-$7k in mods but that doesn’t include everything else that I’ve bought and don’t before so. Imo if you have s4 money it’s hard to beat it! Easily a 10 second stock turbo car and big body beautiful sedan is hard to beat!

[@maiingon316]

I already have the charge pipes with ie intercooler but I don't have the discharge pipes connected to the turbo. Do u think adding that one pipe helped alot?

[@DArias]

Absolutely will make the car feel better as the car will feel peppier and will increase even more airflow to the turbo. For sure worth it!

[@ALBOHITMAN187]

Did you have to boil the pipe to get it to slide into your intercooler?

[@DArias]

Only have to do it with the DO88 intercooler if I’m not mistaken. The APR one has factory outlet sizes so it slides right on

[@cadesterling4388]

This works for a stock turbo too?

[@DArias]

It does yes !

[@fredrios4217]

I have a stage 2 with the eqt tune is it normal to have a check engine light from it after the install and tune

[@DArias]

If you do not have an emissions compliant downpipe then yes it’s normal. After the Cobb update a year ago from the green speed act tuners on the Cobb platform do not have the ability to remove a CEL due to non compliant emissions system. Only way to avoid the cel is getting lucky using a spacer or using an emissions compliant downpipe such as a gesi act or stock one

[@mguiton]

I'm still waiting for mine to ship

[@DArias]

Yeah i had to wait a bit myself unfortunately they were back ordered for a bit

[@markooska]

Will the pipe fit over the stock intercooler?

[@DArias]

It does yes!

[@jjambino]

what is that mount beside you? 0:10

[@maniirdzjr24]

Would you recommend it on a stage 1 tune?

[@DArias]

It’s def a good mod to have regardless of tune. More induction sound and peppier and better throttle response
