plumbed, the intercooler is.
Really happy with the way it turned out, in fact I love it.

The car and engine bay look fairly dirty - this is from all the dust and shit. Mainly from modifying the front bar to actually fit - and the fit around the intercooler piping ;)

It looks much better than the pictures do it justice :)


I first cut, ground, ground measured etc the alloy first to create a perfect fit.

Once done I took it too Kris, a good mate who mate great work of the welding. (Kris also did the exhaust headers).

Intercooler mounted

intercooler
I received my 2.5" intake alloy the other day (coupla donuts, and some straight), so I though it was high time I mounted this intercooler.

Mounted the intercooler! nice and sturdy.



front bar
I also trimmed the front bar to fit better, and accommodate the tow hooks.
I assume the kit warranted them to be removed... Screw that.




air filter
While I was at it I got air filter mostly mounted. just need to weld a bracket on it, and paint.
Thats the stock inlet rubber, that is used into the throttle body. Fits perfectly, and whats more it has a perfectly place bov return on the underside.

[I was going to put a 3.5" wide /4" long little pod without the bend, but figured this was free - and could be used until I get her on the road.]
