Looks good. You will definately feel the difference.

Place some rubber on those mounting points.
Either grommets, or rubber washers, etc - for vibrations.

his is basically setup like mine. i had a pic on a recent thread i think. but mine is a tad closer to the radiator. it will work beautifully iotus! and Jimmy54; i know i didnt put it down and all the way up front because this way was rediculously easier and it doesnt show off what you got.

sleeper style, exactly FB II.

Here's the (almost) finished pics.

I have to re-locate a radiator mount bolt, and cut just a small ammount more off the shroud:

I would rather modify the intercooler intake than cut more off the rad support. Are the zipties cushions?

Oh OK. Another suggestion. Instead of using zipties, you can use hose clamps.

Yeah i was thinking of actually using hose clamps to tie down a metal bracket and screw it in.

but i can lift up the front of the car by grabbing the intercooler, so i'm pretty sure its strong enough.

Nice work! Looks almost identical to my intercooler, only mines a tad bigger, and sits a bit closer to the radiator. Good job.
