Typical Ah Heng’s Mojo

You see, I was only supposed to fetch the Pocong this morning and enroute for slaving activity on this non-working day. But it turns out I had to spend the entire day at Ah Heng’s for his team to complete the work and troubleshoot issues of the new add-ons. Yet, I’ve no regrets because it was worth in the end.

And I won’t beat around the bushes anymore so here’s the list:-
1. Custom FMIC – Used Evo3 intercooler, all-new custom piping from turbo to intercooler and intercooler to manifold, plus relocation of DV.
2. Open-pod K&N filter with custom heat-shield.
3. Custom 2.5” catless downpipe.

Yup, typical Ah Heng and his crew mojo, awesome touches on every single thing making what I’ve paid twice the bargain! No kidding! As for the drives, well, what I can tell though there’s a slight (very slight) lag of 300-500rpm for the turbo to spools but once the revs past 3k all the way to 5.5k, the car pulls with fatter torque figures and more rush feeling at high revs. I just can’t wait to get the whole thing settled down and visit GT for another dyno exercise :)

2.5" downpipe locked and loaded on Friday

It's as noisy as stock so no complains...

Some adjustment on the inlet/outlet needed, if Evo 7/8 intercooler of the same size, it would be ideal

80% of the job completed on Saturday morning

AH relocated the DV to the front-left of the engine bay for more cooling

Amazing work on custom heatshield

The old Evo 3 intercooler seems to be working well which defies its age

AH managed to make a hole when I didn't think it can be done

Got to love the welds done by the Myanmar national staff, reminding me of seeing these things in the US

Pocong full of blues hahaha

Initially I couldn't flat on the throttle because they've forgotten to include the boost sensor but all is well :)

Tadaa...

  5. Roughly how much for the intercooler work? Just a rough idea how much such quality work costs.
