AR 1st Gen FMIC Pics Please!

Does anyone on here have pics of their 1st gen with front mount intercooler? I have turbo2 drivetrain but would like to see some pics of already mounted intercoolers if anyone has them, thanks.

Mine is nice and hidden away, you cannot see it from the front--just the way I like it.

Here are some pictures of how it sits though--above the oil cooler.

WAS:12a... Does having your intercooler in front of your oil cooler does it affect temp on oil? just curious about it i do dig the look of a stock bumper with intercooler right there cant wait to get one like that.

Nah oil cooler is actually in front of the intercooler....just below in pic.

Not sure of intercooler size, sorry.

Temps run at 82-86C all day...never moves off this.

Cam...

EDIT: just got home from the AC/DC concert over here...I'll take some better pics in the morning of my setup and post them here...

It is the Ituzu NPR large intercooler and according to Dave at KDR is good for about 600 RWHP. The best part? They cost about $150 on ebay and are actualy better quality than most aftermarket intercoolers.

Sitting up there has a few advantages: Less chance that rodents and rocks get stuck in it, shorter intercooler piping for quicker spool-up, and the Honda and Mustang cuys have no idea that you have 400 RWHP.
