Nice. Where's your oil cooler going? In front of the support?

Edit: Nevermind, just remembered you had it under the radiator in your other thread. That's gonna be a tight fit! I ended up putting my intercooler way up front at an angle to leave a big space between it and the radiator.

I got a pic of the set up on the other thread with the fiero fan setup. Only clearance issue I might have is the steering rack. I really like the trust intercooler with both openings to one side. Keeps all my pipes on the right side very clean set up.

Yeah, I had to run a smaller cooler so I could wrap the pipes around the side and through the front. Had to move the horns too.

Me too, but that k26 turbo was so small. I'm going bigger on this one.
