haha, that looks funny. I bet it will work good with the new front end though. I woulden't go up any steep driveways with it like that, rub city. I bet you'll have good air intake temps.

This is how I mounted mine. I didn't care about the lower valence since I have a Mariah Mode One that's going on later. It's the large NPR.



The car has a Serious Intercooler Grin.

Thanks for the pic DF.Your always around when I need some help.I'll see what I can muster up.I have the erebuni kit so even if I have to cut alittle out its only fiberglass.My car will smile like that soon enough. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png How are you making out on the Cosmo Kramer swap?

Arrgh.. don't remind me. It has been completely done for about two months now. Just waiting on my Tuner to make some room so he can tune it and re-do the primary rail.

It runs????Thats a first I heard.

It doesn't run because the primary rail needs rework.

Heres my problem you guys.I'll have a sinister grin like DirectFreaks car but I have to cut about 4" out of it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif I don't want to cop it apart but It's not going in otherwise.Plus that wierd outlet angle is going to be hard to get a pipe thru to the throttle body. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

I'll wait till tommorow afternoon for some opinions before I break out a 5" grinder with a Zipcut disc on it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif I also forgot to mention that I have no choice but to mount it upside down to get the turbo to cooler pipe to work.I'll have to figure somthing out for the drivers side pipe tho. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Anyone against me chopping the bumper?Its the only way its going to fit if even then. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png The chopping starts in a few hours.I have to tint a car first tho. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

Bumper is cut and it looks like it will fit but the intercooler will be 4.25" off the ground tho.Is this enough clearance for a weekend cruiser?Remind you I have a 1" drop.This is such a tight fit as it is.But man what a smile it has with it on blocks like it is till I fab the brackets up at work. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
