Did you remove the round tube that is shown infront of my IC or is your IC mounted infront of it?

Wow, that fills up the area! It sure hangs down a bit too much though. You'll probably hit it on something down the line and ruin your day. I'd hate to hear a "I busted the bottom of my intercooler off today" thread. Why did you use those big red straps to hold it in there? They block a lot of airflow. Could you mount it in there at more of a angle so it woulden't be so low to the ground? Anyways, it should keep the air cool either way
Those strapes are 3/8 Flat bar steel from work.Its a weekend warrior anyways.Theres always a alternate route around speed bumps.Thanks god theres a handful of places with bumps and I know them well with my 83. The intercooler is like 28" long the core itself before the endtanks.Thats why its there.No real other way to mount the bastard.Suspension parts get in the way every other time.

Thanks. Goes great with my HUGE T04E I have waiting for a V-band from cheap turbo dot com to get here.Everything is huge on this small car.2.5" IC piping with a 3" exhaust from the turbo back after I swap the turbo out.I just got my 3" muffler in today.This is going to be pimp in spring.When my weekend warrior comes out to play at the track and on the occasional cruise.
