heres the intercooler i didnt know what to use to clean it, styrofoam(wow im a bad speller) was caught up inside so i flushed it with hot soapy water a few times from either side and let it dry in the sun for a few hours its laying next to a dehumidifier right now hopefully that will get all the moisture out

They didn't tape the holes up before they packed it up???

Can't help you on a front mount. Looks nice though...
