well i know lots of people wanted pictures of the progress so here it is... just have to finish moching up the charge pipes and put the new oil pan and exhaust on and i can start it up...
Also the way i mounted it i did not cut any thing away (well a tiny bit of crush guard but very little) just enough to get a bolt in...
intercooler is 27"x10"x3" and yes it sticks out of the bumper i have now but the new one should work fine
And please dont turn this thread into the bitch fest like the last one... if you have a problem with this set up pm me but dont get this one deleted like last time

ahah well im hopping i get my new springs for the coilovers soon... i am puttin the front back up to stock hight and getting them alot stiffer so i can maybe have a chance with this intercooler... if it gets riped off im getting a Johny race car one... this is just what came with the turbo kit i bouhgt off DerekZ24...

Anyone notice that its sitting even lower than his
already scraped up air deflector for the radiator???
Do yourself a favor and cut into the bumper and move that thing up at least a couple inches. My intercooler is also 10" tall and i would not dare risk a $500 part just because i didn't want to cut the bumper.

I agree, a little more work but you have gone this far so no biggie right?
I don't see how you could do something like that again. If this is any clue on how the car is going to got together I would say walk away. If something messes up the first time, you fix the problem by moving the intercooler not by putting another in it's place.
the bumper wont save anything over 10-15 mph....... thats all its rated for....... its deff. not a life saver.......
in any case...... cant wait to see vids of it running........
