its right inline with the front of the car i figured the bumper would go back on .its right under where the bump stops are for the hood

SpooledupRacing 04-17-08 10:01 PM

do u still have the fiberglass bumper on or did u remove that?

SpooledupRacing 04-17-08 10:02 PM

ok it looks like u removed the fiberglass bumper and the mounts for it so u will just be putting the bumper cover over it

whereiscarmensandiego 04-17-08 10:23 PM

oh yeah its to big for the fiberglass bump and stuff

SpooledupRacing 04-17-08 10:26 PM

lol ok...

whereiscarmensandiego 04-17-08 10:29 PM

i think thats theres only 1 intercooler that actaully dosent require removing the fiberglass bumper

SpooledupRacing 04-17-08 10:40 PM

SpooledupRacing 04-18-08 11:35 PM

Yes the car is on an angle..

OK what do u think?

whereiscarmensandiego 04-19-08 10:37 PM

looks good did u actually manage to get the couplers to fit over the intercooler? man i tried and tried

SpooledupRacing 04-19-08 10:47 PM

nope I bought 2 new ones. 3" to 2.5" couplers 5.00 each

whereiscarmensandiego 04-19-08 10:53 PM

heck with that monster on the front u shouldnt even run a front facia hahaha

whereiscarmensandiego 04-19-08 10:57 PM

and your question about the harness. its all plug and play unless u want to run emmisons and cruse controle. and u have to change 1 wire to get the actuator on the twin scroll to open if u are using the stock s4 turbo. but most people just leave it alone and dont worry about it because it only makes u spool alittle slower but nothing noticable really

SpooledupRacing 04-19-08 11:35 PM

no emissions, no twin scroll, no cruse

the one thing I did notice is the T2 tps looks like a 3 wire where the n/a tps I think was a 2 wire.. I cant find a 3 wire connector on my harness

AlexG13B 04-19-08 11:38 PM

did u move coolant resovoir?

s4 turbo/na tps shoukd be the same if i remember?

SpooledupRacing 04-19-08 11:41 PM

nope the coolant res has always been on the drivers fender.. I think its an 86' thing.. because everyone asks me that..

I have to find that 3 wire connector on my harness then because I cant find it lol

EDIT
Ok I looked at my old tps I sold and it was a 3 prong also... now I have to find that 3 prong connector on my harness hummm

AlexG13B 04-19-08 11:46 PM

lol its like a yellowish white conector haha. i think its on the same harness as air intake and coolant temp?

yea. u think the coolant bottle will be in the way of the fmic if it was located in other year position?

SpooledupRacing 04-20-08 06:57 AM

no because the res sites between the radiator supper and bumper support.. this sits outside of it all...

I will look for that connector today!

Alex Rodriguez 04-20-08 07:30 AM

looks good spooled , that gunmetal looks awsome

SpooledupRacing 04-20-08 07:53 AM

Thx I appreciate it really..

SpooledupRacing 04-20-08 01:54 PM

Ok no pictures today (atleast not now)

I have done the following

turbo ECU installed
Walbro installed
TPS wires lengthened


I need 2 couplers
1 banjo bolt
and the higgi/greddy elbow and I can get the car ready to start

Hey i just spent a few hours reading through your build up and it looks good. I'm just south of Flint, MI. I'm not sure where Comstock is. But, I just about where you are. I'm working on getting mine started.

I like that FMIC tho.
