PWR don't sell kits, only the intercooler itself. The IC comes with mounting points...you make your own brakets to suit.

As for pressure drop...wouldn't have a clue...I'm making more than enough power to not worry about it. On that note though, i believe pressure drop is directly proportional to the amount of boost flowing through it. So if you're only running low boost, you won't be effected by pressure drop.

PWR want about $820.00 for a BA one, or $40 less for for 3 or more just FYI

The BP/BPT rod in the middle is so small/weak compared to the others.

But in saying that, my rod punched a hole thru the block without damaging itself. And it's the smaller of all the 3.

And as a comparison of the factory ones to aftermarket - the PAR rods.

Do PAR used pre-snapped rods? Cause that's an awfully clean join on the big-end...

Have a look on this page there is a couple of photo's comparing PAR rods to GTR ones. The PAR look great but I dont know if there is $900 difference with the
slightly beefier lower section and higher quality rod bolts..
