Process of Mounting Intercooler I have a 31x12x4 intercooler on the way and i started pullin off the front assembly and i would just like to see how most of you guys are mounting them into the front portion of the car, all i can see about doing it is cuttin up the front support to modify the two bolts to come down and attach to the intercooler, does anyone have some detailed pics of something similar done?!
btw i tried searching and didnt have much luck

It's a custom fab and most guys use different sized FMICs so one mans setup wont always work for you
Best bet is to disassemble the front of the car and hold the IC in the position you want it to be in the end. Then fit, build brackets, reassemble the body and plumb. Same process would apply to any vehicle

No help? What are you expecting us to come do it for you? I told you the process, you've seen pics. Just do it. You're fabbing a custom setup, youll have to figure out small problems like fitment and such. Sometimes a notch is required, sometimes stuff has to get moved. YOU have to figure it out
