I just got my hatch a few days ago. Planning in going turbo but am worried I cannot run an intercooler with factory fogs. Anyone have any insight as to weather or not it can be pulled off??
My ride:

 

i've heard you can turn the intercooler upside down or weld or fab san extra peice of the intercooler piping around. There was a thread about this somewhere.

 

i ran the piping under the foglight holes. my abs lip covered some of the ic that was hanging a little. or some ppl run the intercooler upside down so the outlets are on top but more than likely they ran with no bumper support

Kinda what i was thinking but I worry about clearance

 

my IC was smaller only took up 3/4 of the grill ill draw u a pic.

edit::

 

been done plenty of times. you need to buy an intercooler with the in/out on the bottoms of the endtanks. that way your pipes go under the fogs.

 

anyone else know of any other setups they could share?

You were talking like this

it all really depends on which intercooler you're wanting to use.. my intercooler is about the size of the first one posted about.. the bottom of the pipes ride right below the fog light area allowing me to run OEM fogs.. you will have to either put the endtanks to the top or find an FMIC that will allow the piping to go below the foglight area

 

i ran the intercooler piping under my fogs..

 

tehman like ya car bro.

yeah... looks good. Is there more room to sit it back further so you did not have to trim the bumper?

 

back door intercooler or mount one upside down.

 

not really my intercooler is 3.5" thick. with a 2.5" you can leave almost all of the grill

mount one upside down.

That's some wishful thinking.

 

Back from the dead...... cause I now have the scrilla


Anyone else?
