tell me what u think

 

sexy

 

the mounting brackets are different from how we mounted, but looks like that works good also. Either way, that **** looks bad ass!

 

Ditto. Kit looks nice.

 

The car looks very nice. That TR12 is one big ass intercooler. Have you put it on the dyno?

 

will be dyno tuned soon as i can get it there

 

wow, everything looks awesome man..Do you have the rpg in your car?

 

looking good

 

Is that a HUGE fmhe in your bumper or are you just happy to see me?

 

 

Sick ass set up man, I'm really jealous. Your car is super clean.. I need a car wash!

 

holy front mount

 

Well done sir!

 

Very nice. i want that oil return line for my s256

 

Holy giant intercooler batman

 

Looks just like mine haha. cept the upgrades.

THat FMIC looks sweet. Should just leave the bumper off and drive around like that

 

Nice build man. Well done

 

I saw a MONSTER intercooler on a GLI one time and the guy custom cut the bumper so the entire intercooler showed, when done right like he did it looked BADASS!

 

What charge pipes and cold air intake are you running?

 

Yeah one of the guys in my car club twincharged his cobalt and he cut out his bumper to fit a custom FMIC. Looked about the same size as the TR12.

 

Dejon pipes and intake

 

Would it be a bad idea to use that intercooler instead of the zzp one? Im doing the lnf upgrade with the bullseye 252et.. I like that one. big and shiney hahaha badass too. FTW

 

agreed.
the mounting brackets are flip backwards, but he can fix that easily.
i also recommend going to vato zone and picking up an extra pair of bolts with washers to insert in the other hole for the mounts so its even sturdier.

 

Well I think that intercooler is a bit overkill but everything else is awesome and the car looks clean for sure.

 

It's really not that bad.. i have one similar in size and it works great. On a stock turbo car too, I didnt get extra lag either.
