Intercooler mounting
How do you guy have your intercooler mounted? Please post up some pics on how you have your installed. I can’t decide if I want to mount it where the grill is or under the front bumper.

There wasn't near enough room on my 01 behind the grill. I mounted mine between the frame rails behind the bumper. You can get a 20X12X3 (core size) intercooler off of Ebay for around $60 and a piping kit for about $70 all new. I pieced mine together for under $250 (mostly shipping cost) with parts off of ebay and it works great. At 8psi I only see about 10 degrees over ambient during a 0 to 90 run. Cruising around town and interstate it runs 2-4 degrees above ambient.
