Front mount intercooler installed :D

Just wanted to share it with people that would understand my enthusiasm!!! :wasntme:

All pipes are 2,25 inch except on ic having 2,25 to 2,5 pipes and the ic in/outlet is 2,5.

Just 2 pics from the outside atm, gonna post some more 2morrow. I do have some small issues like, how in hell does the pipes run over the alternator, omg the most difficult part of the whole setup!!! I know about the trick with placement of campus tether (is it called tether or leash?) which is smaller so alternator goes a bit back leaving more room.

What amazed me was the difference on power, the car feels more "full" all the time, instead of only full throttle bursts. Also sound.... omg the sound changed into something magical ! :laugh:
The turbo surge on the new pipe setup is AWSOME.

Don't freak out about the mashed front end, previous owners didn't show it much love... :cry:
All is going to be repaired!

There's alot of ways to run the pipes. My brother has his right over the top of the rocker cover away from the alternator.. Looks good bud.

I agree there are lots of ways. Have seen a lot of different setups in this forum. Pipes being 2,25 didn't help either, difficult to put them in place when u have only 6 silicone 90" angles one straight and some connector aluminium pipe ^^ :wasntme:

Forgot to mention how awsome it feels now that the old standard intercooler has gone away. All this space... Moved the air filter where the old ic was too. Fresh cold air all the time :cooter:

Ty for the comment too :agree:

Sweet - looks awesome - good work

Bumper fitted. Some will find it too chopped but i actually wanted it like this. Also u can't imagine how lighter the bumper became after chopping.

The other plus is that i kept the bottom brackets slightly modified. :D
