Alright picture time
Heres what i started with for my ideal intercooler mounting area


So i tried dropping the I/C straight in with the inlets up and the cold side routing just wouldnt work so that was out

Second attempt was flipping it over and putting the inlets down, this worked for routing but when i put the Grill shell on it i ran into a problem, the 3" thick core of the I/C would not allow for the bottom of the grill shell to clip in, so that was out



So the third time was indeed the charm, i removed the trans cooler from the core support and tried testing it again and sure enough the bastard fits and looks sick through the grill



More tommorow but it's 3:30 AM and i'm going to bed

looks good, what are you going to do with the trans cooler now??? I was going to do mine under the bed with a fan when I switched to hoses, but decided against it. It seems like this would be a great option for you though since your space up front is limited

Trans cooler is moving lower in the bumper around the bottom of the lower valance
