Thanks! The Apexi kit is basically stock, I did however shorten the intake piping a few inches for a better (IMO cleaner) fit and removed and plugged the fitting for the airpump.

Am I the only one having a hell of a time trying to get my 2.5 inch intercooling to work with my koyo radiator. Since I cant weld aluminum I cant get the proper bend to get the radiator far enough forward to even put a filter on the turbo. Any hints.

The reason why you are having trouble is because the intercooler piping kit you bought is not custom made for the FD, so you have to find away.

Other people are using up to a 3in but they are custom bent for the Rad and FD frame.
