what size intercooler did you get? theres a few build threads on here where the intercooler was mounted behind the bumper support and (if you have a smaller intercooler) under the bumper support. brackets were made and bolted/welded on the bumper support.

My biggest pet peeve with people asking for help is

NOT ENOUGH INFO.

Be kind to the ones HELPING you HELP them!

Give detailed info even if more than enough, and I bet your question will get answered the first time!!

IDK brand, pics? maybe someone had the same and ran into this.

I'm just saying man, you do what you want. But you give more info you'll get better feedback. Who knows if anyone has this, not to mention for future reference if any buys that IC, they can pick up this issue by the keyword.

Shall I keep on or is that good enough?

Your face should be in the dictionary under Ignorant.

Could it hurt you to PM the guys and ask them questions direct, or are you going to be a lazy ass and wait for no one to respond here , your choice.

someone wants to be hand fed...

you can tell he obviously has no engineering skills, or even the drive to make it work...

if a person is so custom install bad...should purchase a bolt on from one of the many companies/vendors that make them for the lnf. just saying cuz its really easy to install those because they just work. If you dont know how to install a ic that has not been installed before, asking on a forum where no one has installed it then getting mad...really doesnt make any logical sense.

Maybe a smaller intercooler would be in order. You probably won't need such a big unit, unless your doing it for looks.

its 26x6x2.5x2.5 i think the best way to do it would be to take a 32" piece of angle iron put a matching bend in it to the bumper support bolt it to the bumper support the bolt the fmic to the angle iron.
