first thing to install is gonna be the intercooler.now if u got the same one i got u will have to bend up some aluminum channel and have it welded on the top and bottom of the intercooler.

now u have to cut out the brace that runs from the bottom of the bumper to the bottom of the hood latch

once that is done u can attach the intercooler behing the gril with steel straps and bolts/sheetmetal screws on the tops and bottom of the ic



now i made a big mistake when i put mine in. i set mine right under the hood latch.so when i tried to close the hood the saftey latch hit it and the hood wouldnt close.but it wasnt a big deal since i had a fiberglass bolt on hood.i just removed the saftey latch and got a set of aluminum hood pins.now if u have a stock hood ull want to make sure were ever u place the ic that it dosent interfer with the hoodlatch


the first pipe to build is gonna be the oulet of the intercooler to the throttle boddie.as u can see here i came out of the ic and make a right bend so the pipe ends up under the hole i cut earlier.


once u get the pipe to look like the above picture u place an coupler onto the pipe below the hole.Cause if u make this pipe in one piece u wont be able to get it in or out of the car.

once u get the coupler on take ur next peice of pipe and slide it from the top into the connector,and gently tighten the clamp just enough so it dosent try to fall out.but still lose enough u can rotate the pipe back and forth.

in that pic u can see how i ran the pipe from the tb twards the pipe comming threw the hole.
now the pipes arent the greatest fit because the bends i had werent tight enough to make a nice smooth turn.so i had to do some creative welding and making lil pieces to fill the gaps on some of the pipes



this is also the pipe u want to mount ur bov or recircualtin bov into.
