Default Got the intercooler mounted...PICS

Checking fitment and room of the plate that the intercooler will mount to.



I mounted the plate (after trimming it to fit and paint) to the existing bumper mounts using the facotry bolts. I also had to trim the bumper mount where it folds up a little from the factory stamping process.



If you look to the side of the bumper bolts, you can see the part that folded up from the stamping process that needed to be trimmed for the plate to be mounted flat across the frame horns.



The fit was tight, but centered.



Finished product...

Thanks! The install went smoothly, and it didnt take but a few hours. Im going to run the cold side piping this weekend.

I was planning on putting the billet insert in the bumper, but it looks sick coming at you the way it is now! Not sure if I plan on doing that now...

Yes Casey, I know, I know!! lol Dont worry, I'll have it all on soon enough. I'd just rather have the majority of the work done before we do the unbolting of the stock junk.

Nice fitment.

IMO, looks unfinished without the grill. Let the whine and BOV advertise your Turbo. Slap in that billet cover and take another picture.

I'm torn to tell the truth. I like the aggressiveness of it without the insert. But, I also like how clean it looks having the billet insert there. I'll prob buy the insert, and if I get bored, I can always swap up with both.
