did another test fit to see if i needed more pipes or couplers and so forth...went ahead and mounted the intercooler, little over kill but i couldnt beat the price.

unfortunately the way the turbo sits you have to clock the outlet towards the top and run a charge pipe inline with top of the rad. and of course the wastegate is in the way so i had to rig an offset and cut more off the pipe connecting to the intercooler.
just trying to make it work for now...Id kill for a tig welder right about now...lmao

lol...too big...the worst part is the fact that the stock bumper covers nearly half of it. maybe a decent (clean) body kit would be in order. something that has a large opening that might allow air to all of the intercooler.

idk about cutting on the stocker, just seems cheesy to me. Well i mean for a street car that is. the only body kit i see that would fit the bill is the rado..little pricey though.
