I need to know how any of you mounted this thing. I have the Greddy Type 24V. I refuse to cut the frame of the car. This is supposed to be a performance upgrade. I do not want to compromise the integrity of my cars front end especially its ability to withstand a front impact which Greddy tech support says cutting the frame will do.
Here is a pic of the problem.

Well, I have been told I was trying to put it too far back it actually goes right behind the bumper.
The problem is half of the damn thing is behind the bumper, whats the point??
Also the piping blocks out the brake ducts and it really seems like it will restrict airflow to the radiator and oil cooler.
I have come to the conclusion that this I/C is better suited for drag racing and not road course. I am all about road course so I am not installing this i/c in my car. I am having turbonetics make me a custom I/C to my specifications.
If anyone wants to buy JUST THE INTERCOOLER no piping make an offer. I'll even pay shipping just to get it out of my sight. What a ******* expensive mistake I have made! I am really pissed over this.
