get a real intercooler, V-mount is where its at.



but if you can't afford that, get the apexi... fits easty with just a lil bit of cutting and works great.

What are you looking for, 3 row or 2 row? With that HP i assume you are single?

If so the GReddy 3 row is a good fit also.

well it is in the front. but it still sit behind the bumper bar, and a little father back than the others... good thing is the intercooler pipes don't get in the way of everything and install was easy... i keep hearing horror stories on how the greddy ones take a lot of modification to fit... all you have to do with the apexi is cut a small peice of metal out of the the corner by the passenger side headlight... fits great. plus it comes with all hardware to keep everything else. or you can do like we did, and modify the brackets to your radiator stands up straight right behind the intercooler... i live in s. florida and haven't overheated yet... course i do have the PFC but still, my car hasn't gotten above 88 in the middle of the day since i did it.
