GReddy Type M Intercooler
So I was thinking of putting the Type M intercooler kit on my FD. I just wanted to know what you guys think of it. My FD already has a full 3" Downpipe with the 3" racing beat catback, Trust intake, and a chiped ECU. Im going to put the batter in the pass side storage bin this weekend.
Does it fit in easy. It looks like it may be hard to get it in there with the ac condenser. Any input would be great thanks guys.

Its not that hard, you just have to trim the reinforced bumper and some metal, nothing big, mount up the rad. and as for the AC, i just removed it so im not to sure about that, but it should come with something for that just like it does for the PS lines....

Like stated above, The Greddy kit will come with the stuff to relocate the radiator and power steering cooler. The A/C condenser will require some bending of the hoses but nothing major.
I would recommend an upgraded radiator if you are going o put a FMIC and a clutch though.

Installing the kit is relatively easy, I just put one on my car about 2-3 weeks ago, just make sure to take your time with the a/c lines so that they do not crack.

So I got the car back together today before work. Started up ran fine. Took it down the road and once the 2nd turbo kicked in the intercooler pipe can out of the boost tubes. Put it back in place did it again and same thing. The clamps they gave me suck I had the same problem with the upper rad hose when I was filling it. So after work I have to go and getter better clamps to hold the tubes in place.
On a good note when the first turbo was going it felt really good.
