Default turbo project(progress)

finialy got time to get the car into the garage and start working on the car. this is by far the biggest project i hve ever done. took the front bumper cover off. who ever wrote the haynes manual left out a few bolts finialy got it off. took about 4-5 hours but the intercooler is in. next step is sorting out the pipes(got the kit used) then the electrical and oil lines . id have pics but my cats decided i didnt need a camera anymore. ill get pics soon. anyone have any advice on how to cut out the black area of the bumper were the fog lights are????

Griff is going to cut it and then paint if for me while he has it. I made the bottom FMIC support out of aluminum square tubing that someone at my work tigged for me. It came out nice. Its painted black and failry strong.
