Installing Front Mount Intercooler ON Teg.
I had a question about installing the front mount intercooler. I doesnt look too hard, except for the fact that there is this metal tubing type piece sitting right in front of the radiator . What is it and how do I get it out of the way. I have 95 Teg GSR. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to piece together my kit one part at a time..... Thank YOu.

it depends on what kind of intercooler you have
if you are using the Drag you can just push it back out of the way

Re: Installing Front Mount Intercooler ON Teg. (Mase)
Can anyone post their setups? I would appreciate it very much. I put my car on jack stands to see under there, and i promise that there is nearly no room. I posted some pics. One thing I noticed is that there are two raidtor type things. Layered on top of each other. Is this normal?

theres plenty of room, you put the FMIC under the bumper beam, not behind it. push the lines back towards the condenser and youll have plenty of room.

Those lines are for the Power steering, mount the I/C under the bumper support like mentioned. Have some L shaped brackets welded on if they are not already there.

These are relays, not sure what specifically those control, could be A/C or headlights maybe. They can be relocated no prob.
Also, is that duct tape on your bumper support? Were you holding the intercooler up with duct tape? I thought I was the only one who did ghetto **** like that. Ghetto fabulous

that is where to mount the intercooler? so the intercooler won't hang down too low if mounted fromthe bumper beam?
sorry, for the ignorant questions.. i just don't wanna mess this up.

we just used a regular drill on Ryan's. the metal isn't really all that thick on his. doesn't look too bad on mine either.
as for room for the tubing.. that's something i have to look forward to. by driver's side.. you mean intercooler tubing right?
