I don't think these photos do it any justice and amonst the shit it my engine bay it looks REALLY out of place but once' my rocker cover is chromed and my wires tidied up...leads...etc...all hose connectors chrome blue aswell then it should look smick.

My JA has perfect motor - FMIC - forgies - high flow head but...rusted front guards and keyed on every panel. Time to get serious or time to take it to the tip.
Hmm i dont mean to knock it... but isnt that a lot of trouble to go to for a cross-over pipe? I would be spending my efforts on a front mount cooler... but to each his own i guess.
knock all you like! I'm open to criticism...well your right a front mount is a top idea and certainly on the agenda but it only cost me $20 for that pipe so it's pretty cool...
if I could do a intercooler mount for $20 I would :P

so im taking it you either can do pipework by yourself or have someone who can do it on the cheap. A good cooler setup (inc cooler) should cost under $300 if you can make the piping yourself.
I personally would be sketchy about putting a cooler on it. I think you are sucking Gas through the turbo (limited knowledge on gas systems) - do you really want flammable gas going through your intercooler?
So thats what a gas carby looks like on a starion. Old Volvo intercoolers are cheap, less then $150 and they are big. I did the piping on my car myself cost about $100. Its not that neat but it works and its reliable. Have a look at my website some time if you wont to see what I have done.
pod air filter, 'cos on GAS (straight) no need, for air flow meters etc...
I noticed the difference it made, it's great.
