I have the mazdacomp radiator and the Apexi FMIC. I did have to invert the radiator, but other than that everything went great.

I wish I could be of more help, but KD Rotary did the install. Dave did tell me, he had to custom fab some brackets so the mazdacomp would fit, because the Apex FMIC is designed for the stock radiator. As for pic's, I'll take a few and post em.

ZOOMSPEED: With most frount mount intercooler kits you have to invert (stand up the radiator) for the large intercooler to fit.

How is this accomplished? Is it difficult?

With the apexi FMIC kit it is not that bad to move everything. They provide brackets so you can relocate the condensor, AC dryer, Battery and the power steering lines I think thats everything. It moves it all so you can mount the FMIC and invert the radiator.
