have not run it yet, very interested in how she will do. I am the guy in the first pic with blue on red. The guy in the hat is my partner in crime. The other one is my other roomate. We got everything moved and installed, now back on with the bumper, lights and add some fluid. We did the entire thing in 8 hours

Is that huge chunk cut out of the bumper normal from other front mount kits as well or just the Greddy? Looks pretty good I just never knew is was the much when people said a little "trimming" was needed.

one last thing... whats the advantage of the greddy elbow? does it flow better than the stocl one? also is there an increase in diameter over the stock piping? whats the diameter of that piping? im assuming you got some sort of FMIC kit which includes the piping.....

the inlets on the IC fit my slong perfectly, just added some axle grese since we were already in the garage. Jason, thanks for the help, the instruction pics were kinda vauge but they worked.
The intercooler is the greddy FMIC kit that with the greddy elbow and piping came to 1016 from RX7store.net. I cant argue, the kit and all the crap to get everything else moved was great. The only thing that did not come in handy was the battery bracket, we relocated it. Also, we bent the mounts for the radiator to make it sit vertical a little more, because it was at an 85 degree angle instead of 90, same with the ac brackets, no matter, we got it to work. Thanks again Jason

here is the site, we picked the FMIC with greddy elbow and piping. Way to much fun, only took about 10 hours from start to finish. We worked fast though. HUGE improvement, temp is lower, and the cars feels like an extra 20 HP was put on.

The advantage of the Greddy is its a few hundered cheaper than the Blitz.
