EBAY Front mount guys in here ...
I'm not sure what you're asking? That intercooler is from CX Racing, which I believe is the same as Just-Intercoolers. There are two "bungs" welded on top and bottom of the IC that you can mount brackets to, and they supply I think two more in the box if you need to weld them on somewhere else.

The intercooler is actually centered well, just the angle of the pic throws it off. The middle part of the bumper cover will be getting cut out except for a 1" wide section in the middle going up and down to hold the bottom lip up. Then the grill will be like the pics I posted in the last post but with black mesh instead of silver.

No bumper support. The foam is not in there yet, Need to get the heads back and bolt the motor together and put it back in this weekend. Then I'll have to cut the intercooler piping up and fit it together..then I'll worry about trying to cut the foam to fit in there still.

I got inspired by the pics of the black car and took a page from his book on cutting the bumper and grill. Here are my progress pics as of today .. Pipes are ran and bumper is clearanced.

The new location of the intercooler mounting sans bumper support:

How it comes through the top to the TB:

Lookin good. I had to convert to a pusher fan so coming up infront of the radiator wasn't an option. I actually had to reposition the horns and came in right under that framerail.

I looked at doing that but I thought if I cam up in front of the pullies I would want to do a the virtical radiator and I just dont want to spend the money or the time right now. I got the couplers today for the MAF and intake but I think I got the wrong size v-band hardware for the downpipe =[
I just got those exact same parts last week. TB coupler and couplers to put the maf in. Thats all I had left to do for the IC pipe. Now just waiting on the fuel pump to get here from EPP and the 3 1/2" T-bolts and braided stainless hose kit from summit (I want to get these over the radiator hoses before I slide the radiator back in).
My turbo sits right infront of the crank pully so I had to get rid of the stock fans and get the pusher, but I was able to keep the radiator in the stock location.

thats funny I guess we got parts from the same place cus I have to get 3.5" t-bolt clamps as well cus the place I ordered from was sold out. I am still in search of my 3.5" bolts though .. think i'll just pick them up local.
Ohh are you going 2.5 to 3.5" from the intercooler piping to the TB? I am a little worried about that transition.

I was going to get them from silicone inakes($2.60 each) when I ordered the couplers, but the were out of stock til the 15th so I just got'em from summit($5 each, 3.4xx-3.820 is the 3.5 through them) .
I have 3" IC pipe. The stock TB is 4" so I have 3" to 4" there and 3" to 3.5" for the maf.
