Default New intercooler setup

Well back in the summer I redone the setup that can be seen in the kbracing intercooler behind the grille thread. So I wasnt completly happy with it and decided to do it again. So here is the way it came out. I had to drill 3" holes through the headlight housings to run the piping through and make brackets to mount the intercooler. I still have to order some 90 degree elbows for the intercooler with 4" legs, the ones on there now are pieced together. All in all I think it came out great, bring on the comments.

Well I have no way to check iats but the truck does seem to accelerate quicker. Boost seems to come in quicker. One thing that did change for sure is my a/f went from high 11s to low 11s.

My trans cooler is still in the same spot at the very bottom behind valance. I will get some more detailed pics when my new couplings get here and everything is 100% complete. I will say that I like this setup alot better than the previous. looks almost stock looking, like it was meant to be that way.
