Haha ya I need to do that. I mainly just did the mock up for the kit today so I have a couple things I need to cut still. Nice to see it somewhat together though.

Intercooler mount is pretty much built, a little more work needs done but not much.

With bumper on. Test fitting clearances.


Fuse boxes have plenty of room.



I found out that I couldnt fit the fog lights without hacking the bumper cover up. There just simply isnt the room for em.

Didn't you have a smaller Mishimoto intercooler before? Why did you go away from that?

I sold the old kit in its entirety and I was planning on getting another Mishimoto but I ended up getting a complete kit for a good price so I ran with it.

A couple pages ago I switched gears and picked up a hi-flo kit. I was just too lazy to create a new thread for it. Downpipe goes up and over the kmember and drops below the firewall on the passenger side.

Gauges came in. Oil pressure, fuel pressure and boost.

I can already see where Im going to be cutting and hammering the wheel well. Good news is since I have LT1 brakes in the rear, I have no grinding to do on the calipers!
