Was looking around on the forum here and found this...thought maybe the pic of the intercooler setup on their car could help you out...

Were you able to get the turbo on with out cutting anything up?

 

I haven't tried to put the turbo on since the above post. I'm probably gonna be buying an oil relocation kit and gonna wait until I get that before I mess with that further as I'd have to take everything off again if I put it together now.

As far as the intercooler goes, I found out that I have to cut a decent amount off to make it fit. I have some people telling me to find a different intercooler and some telling me to just cut where I need to. Any thoughts? I would need to cut the bottom half of the rail in this picture.

 

thats retarded. get a better fitting FMIC. they make ones that are more s2k friendly then that one.

edited. i just clicked there pics and if inline pro thinks its not a big deal, then ehh, go for it. i still think its dumb but apparently doesnt hurt anything.

 

I have a guy that said he will modify my endtanks on the intercooler to make it fit without having to cut the frame. He gave me a ballpark quote of 75 to 100 dollars for everything.

I think I'm gonna try to have him do this for me. Its gonna sacrifice efficiency, but I really don't want to cut the frame.

 

I found a new problem today. I put the charge pipe on that goes to the throttle body. I have it twisted all the way I can to where its hitting the inner fender cover. The BOV flange hits the hood and I can't close the hood. The BOV isn't even installed either.





It looks different than their install pictures for sure.


Am I crazy?

 

looks different to me.

 

I guess I'll have to pay someone to fix that for me too.

This is annoying and frustrating.

 

Did you remove the headlight supports? In order to run the piping you need to do that. You dont have it in properly. Once you remove the bracket it will come forward and be away from the fender liner.

 

Thanks for the help.

I didn't even think of that. I will try that out tomorrow. I wish they would have given me some instructions to make it easier.
