Mounted with 2 brackets from the bumper support and 2 brackets from the brace under the radiator...and I use a 3.12 with the i/c for 10lbs, but there were some problems on the dyno...Had to get a new maf because the Pro-m that was on it was jacked up and had to install a BAP for the fuel pump, so when I go back in a week or so I'll have some numbers...Heh, also the oil feed line to the s/c was cut but the crank pulley, watching 2qts of oil empty from a pin size hole in 10 sec was quite a sight, biggest mess of oil I've ever seen.

That intercooler look like its hanging a bit low. You should try to raise it up. It shouldn't show below the bumper cover your risking damaging it.

I got mine even with the radiator support.

Looks low in the pics, but sits perfect on the car with bumper on...Whats weird is the bottom of mine sits even with the radiator support to, but it still drops below the bumper about an inch in the middle

Ditch the bumper support and get a tubed one and make fitment much easier, plus alot more air going to the cooler.

I sell them. This might make jvog unhappy (since he has one) but we now make them 5lbs lighter then the one in the pic.

You have the smaller version of the intercooler I have. If you had the same one you wouldnt have that stock bumper support on there.

you MFer! I want my money back! Nah I don't care, I didn't do it to save weight. Thats what the teksid block is for. How did you shave 5 lbs off, make it smaller or what?
