Default Fuse relocation?? Help!!
I have done a search and can not really find anything... I need to relocate my fuse boxes so my intercooler pipe can come up through the hole. It is a 02ta. Does anyone have any picture or anything that can help me move these boxes out of the way? Any help at this point would be amazing... Im kinda stuck...

I just went through the same thing. You can easily move them out of the way to run the pipe, but it doesn't look too clean. Just pull them fuse boxes out of the black plastic bracket they're in, pull the bracket out, and then the fuse box that is farther forward (and blocking that hole) can easily be leaned over out of the way. It doesn't require any tugging on the wires, really. It easily lays over out of the way. Here are some pics of mine.

I guess that will do for the time being until I can make some custom bracket... If anyone else has some suggestions please let me know...

I'm gonna try to fabricate something as well... or, I may relocate the battery and go the other direction with the piping in the future. We'll see.

I cut that lip up to the frame rail which makes it easier to move them up out of the way:

98Camarod, can you take some pics from above looking down onto the turbo and radiator. I want to see how much space you gained from moving the radiator forward.

Thanks =)

Same club here. The one is moved over and laying on it's side so the IC pipe could come through. I need to figure out how to remedy this since I show the car as well.

Bob, how do you guys go about this? Do you just lay it aside as we have, or is there a bracket you use that holds them out of the way in a cleaner fashion?

I was able to trim just the bottom of the fuse bracket, and my pipes went through just fine.

Thanks, I painted my valve covers because they looked pretty nasty. Next weekend I have to block the T and find out which one of the 4 lines I can block of and which one I use as a vent.
