Re: Install a Intercooler... (central_driver)
Wow.. Hold your horses! Are you trying to install an intercooler on a non-turbo'd car?? If so, don't do it.
But if you're not, it depends how the intercooler piping is set-up. Pix?

mount it to the under side of the bumper support (that metal thing) with the bolts threaded into the intercooler, try to bold the bumper up, if it is off a little trim the backing to the black grill insert thing shave it down and it should bolt up wither that or you need to cut into the bumper support

dude are you serious? of course how do you think the intercooler is held up? drill a hole, in the support, then get a small pieace of metal put it in sideways so it doesnt fall out of the cole and tighten the nut against the meatal pieace and bumper support and intercooler it will stay there

What's the world coming to when kids think that parts just magically stick on their car?

So you're installing the most optional part of a turbo kit before you even have one?

Re: (JSPECSIR)
when they say no cutting/fabbing, they mean you don't have to hack up your car to make the thing fit.
Even if you buy piping that is specifically made for your car it doesn't always fit right depending on where YOU have everything in YOUR engine bay. Not every setup is exactly the same, not every setup puts the turbo in the same location.
So when they say no cutting/fabbing, they mean you will not have to seriously alter you car to make this fit, but usually YOU WILL have to drill holes or some small **** to make it fit correctly.
remember this always...........

Re: Install a Intercooler... (DXBSOL)
you could just go top mount if you REALLY dont want to cut into your car, hell my firend modified a stock dsm sidemount to a top mount, thing is you have to ride with no hood or a fat wrx scoop or your intercooler is just going to becuome a heatsink and take some power away
heres what i mena by top mount

Since its an oem part, it will bolt right up..... Just kidding, your going to have to cut, weld, and possible make brackets.
