If it\'s the one from ebay then you need to reposition the rad, I\'ve had the front off my FD to test fit the FMIC. The pipe run loops over the top of the rad and then down to the inlet/outlet of the.
 
I haven\'t yet fitted the intercooler as on removing one of the bolt\'s that retain the plastic frame that sits behind the bumper i snapped the head off. Unluckly it was one of the holes that the FMIC bolts into. So need to get the stud removed before fitting.
 
From the look of it, it\'s easy if a little frustration but then i so far haven\'t tried fitting it. Let me know how it goes, get pics and sell the instructions back the seller.

Is it the autobarn front mount? If so go to the greddy website and download thier fitting instructions, they\'re the same. Not great pics but they give you the basics!

MetalMan you\'re a Genious, From the list of parts on the greddy instructions it look like the same kit.
 
Ratty_ratty here\'s the link to the Greddy instructions, their not great as Metalman said but they give a bloody good idea of what needs doing. http://www.greddy.com/img/PHP/products/pdf/793.pdf
