heres mine with a vortech v2 si-trim. i bought a cxr racing intercooler setup and a vortech mini race bypass and mounted it on the blower outlet pipe. the biggest problem i had was with the fog lights. i had originally mounted the passenger intercooler pipes going straight up to the throttle body but when i put the bumper back on i tried to connect the foglight connector plugs and the pipe was in the way.

i ended up having to make an s-shape out of passenger side intercooler pipes and that gave me enough room to plug in the connector but i still had to cut up the housings in order to clear the pipes. what a lot of people overlook, is that you have to mount the intercooler flush with the radiator and try to leave a small gap, otherwise the intercooler pipes will hit the fog lights. im glad i did that, it looks way better this way.

also made my own bumper support after seeing how weak the stock one looked and with this one i have way more airflow and more room.

oh and btw, i know my pipes are different colors lol. i ran out of paint and didnt want to make another trip to the parts store.

 

Nice job on doing it the correct way with the bumper. I hate it when I see people hack up the bumpers..

 

My factory bumper is removed in this pic, but it fit back on without any cutting. PS: I took my car to get inspected as pictured.

 

can you clock/turn the vortech without taking it off the car?

 

Not sure, you have to see if you can get to all of the allen bolts. If you can, no reason why you shouldn't be able to.

 

Most likely no. You have to change the ports that the oil feed/return are connected to.

 

I was able to reclock my unit without having to remove it. The oil feed/return lines are not connected to the snell so they did not have to be moved.

Here is my set up...by the way some don't agree with cutting the bumper support.
