Lee, remember the thread ages ago. The CC is nothing to do with the engine heat building up, it cools the charge instantly better than the original intercooler, even if the engine bay was stone cold. Remember Peter gained over 40lb ft when he just added the CC on the standard engine, and you are running a standard turbo flat out which adds to the charge temps. You won't be able to appreciate the gain until you go out in a car with one. :)

The side mounts are heavier than the seats, where as steel framed buckets don't need them. I have a few sets of sidemounts here, ill weigh them tommorrow.

You can pretty easily bolt them to the original frames. They have 4 bolt flat base mounting.
