Give us a call. We have done a lot of intercoolers in our bumper support.

What kind of setup are you trying to do?

This might be a really dumb question, but how do you bead roll tubing yourself? Is there a special tool for bead rolling tubing? where can you get one?

You can modify a good pair of wire crimpers. It worked for me. There are a few threads that have some pics. I'd take a pic for you but my camera is busted...

i also bought a universal kit, a prefabbed kit would be kind of difficult without the builder having the car and turbo kit in house, no??

This isnt the exact kit i bought but will work fine. Intercooler should be good to 1000hp. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CXRacing-Uni...item255f059a34
