Re: FMIC Install - WTF am I gonna do?
UPDATE!
Intercooler is installed! I think the offest inlets would have been a better choice (offset towards the mounting brackets) because I had to cut a LOT of bumper away around those foglight openings to get it to fit. Then again, maybe I ran my piping a little weird, I don't know... But I did clear the windshield washer reservoir fine and everything else went together ok. I had to use a cheap 90 degree coupler right off the turbo though... I have a feeling if anything goes, that'll be the first thing.
Anyway, drove it a little and I have a ton of noises... Braced the IC with strips of rubber and ----, my front end is so tight my headlights rattle! I haven't boosted it yet because I'm having some tranny issues now (tapping noise). I'm gonna tear it apart in the next couple of nights, but so far I found a few articles about a bearing going bad... So we'll see.
PICS!!!
