Default Pulled the trigger on the FMIC Treadstone TRV259O **Updated** more pics. 11-14-11

Ok so i deiced to pull the trigger and go with front mount. And i ended up getting the Treadstone TRV2590 I really wanted to go with a vertical flow over horizontal was one of the big reason i went this this intercoolerl,
They claim its good upwards of 1300 hp, Will start with the install here in the next couple of weeks after i pick up the few remaining parts.

**Updated**
So finally got it back together and start working on the tune. Ill be getting more pictures soon in better light,
And the fogs need some more minor adjusting to sit right. but are close. Also with with a a halo fog light.


Today i checked to see how this thing will fit on my car. And figured out how i was planning on mounting it.
Might be just a little tall. Witch makes it stick out of the bottom just a little bit. But think this is the way im going to keep it mounted. I tried moving it up a little but more. But then hits the bumper from underneath and pushes up on the outlet. so it really can not go up any high. Though about putting tit at a slant. But seems the frame might be in the way out the outlet. So thinking this is how its going to stay. Unless anyone eles has ran this intercooler and has any ideas. thanks.

Why don't you mount horizontal by the air dam? Its got to have better airflow there anyway.

Well i still do plan on cutting out the license plate section. There will be lots of airflow here. But might not be a bad idea, ill have to see if it will fit? I seen people mount others horizontal. Though not one as tall that i can think of.

After looking up some other build where they mount it Horzntal. I dont think there would be nearly enough room. Looking at this picture of another members build. It looks like his 12 inch tall one barely made it. And since mine is 15 and the outlet would be out by the nose. Plus it looks like it blocks allot of air to the radiator to me. IDK.

I would think that if you mounted it horizontal it wouldn't get any air flow through the fins properly anyways to lower the air inlet temps. Thats pretty much the purpose of the front mount among other things. Vertical would be best in my opinion.

Ya doesn't look like great airflow. then looks to block some from the radiator.. definitely going to keep it vertical.

That's the same way mine turned out. My end tanks look a touch shorter than yours, but nonetheless its pretty close. Mine doesn't stick below the bumper cover though, but it's about a C hair away

Nice. I like it. Im going to do the same as well and make some fog light brackets as well, Witch looks pretty easy. Though i have my front mount sitting a little to forward it seems right now. Light fits in the whole. But cant plug in the connector. So was going to move it back another half inch or so. But decided to order a different set of fog lights. So ill wait tell they get here to see if i still need to. witch from the measurements of them and the way they hook up. I dont think i will have to.

As for it sticking under the bumper... think im just going to live with it. Even considering throwing on a west wring front bumper lip. if it ends up getting to me to much.
