Had to drill a hole in each front corner for the pipe work

the screen washer bottle stays in the same place but had to be changed to a smaller one. Not sure what bottle it is as i got it from benlewismay
had to remove the front crunch bar to fit ic (i dont have a crush bar on now)
also for my ic, the front bumper had to be trimmed a bit to fit the ic.

the coil had to be relocated a bit and the batt is bit small than stock batt

I always thought your intercooler was bigger than that. Getting worried now that mine will be way too big.

the IC filled the big hole in the bumper really nice so hard to tell from looking at front if it goes up any higher lol

on a side note, i say my v-mount and tbh it didnt look that big
bit thicker.. bit taller.. bit shorter but if u size it up its bigger than this. still bit too big for the cheese tub i got but means its fully future proof along with my 1680s

oops.. kinda off topic now lol

Me too! I\'ve got this beautiful bit of metal to fit on mine...





Looking at Liam\'s pictures i can forsee problems!

Once i get it fitted i\'ll post some pictures up here.

you running that on the standard turbo?

[L18M]

mine was good for 350ish so was a little bit too big for stock tub. if u guys r running stock tubs then u might as well be running an egi block in there hehe..
tub kick in bout 4.5 / 5k revs me thinks..
 
think my new ic is about the size of mukumusubarumitsubish (:p) but then have got a bigger tub. think can prob run a T04R well on you ic.

[mukumu kurubushi]

I\'ll be running a HKS T04E

[L18M]

bit laggy still but fun
hope ur hks is in good condition as i hear parts for that is a bit of a pain to get hold of as its slightly diff to garretta.

you can never be too big with a intercooler lol

did jamie not have this off you mate??

[the hat]

its mine well will be as soon as i get home from offshore just need to buy a core

[TiddlesRX7]

Yeah mine is a similar size to that. Stock tub + big intercooler = Biiiiiiig Lag! Maybe i\'ll sell it and hold out for mitch\'s top mount!

[dthebuk]

or you could fit it as an insentive to upgrade you\'re compressor. Also if you sort the fueling out, get a decent rad, then fit your pfc you can run silly boost till the turbo dies. Then you\'d be FORCED to upgrade the compressor

HAHA *wins*

[dthebuk]

so i\'s the turbo on an FC particularly small then? Ive driven a mates R33 which had a stock tub and a massive front mount and lag really wasn\'t a problem
