Mine comes in this week -

I am curious to see other people's setups with and without the bumper on so I can see how you mounted it - and how it looks -

thank you.

 

Your time is better spent look at the homepages of UncleMax, Turbo95Max, Turbo97se (I think Nigel has one), and phil96se (even though he doesn't own it anymore I think he had an FMIC ).

it looks as if turbo95max cut into his bumper in order to fit it, and unclemax just got a fmic that fit UNDEr his bumper (less than 6inches high...)

I have a 7" high fmic, and do not want to cut into my bumper, but looks as if that is the solution - thanks for those links!

 

how much did u get your ic for?/? and what brand is it? i'm looking into getting a 7" ic hopefully spearco.. but not sure how much it'll run.. i was told somewhere around 500bux.

 

you gotta cut the bumper.. if you are not certain.. have a body shop do it

 

WOW! Your gonna have one fast max! I gotta take a ride in ur car sometime!

 

That's just the thing, I do not want to cut the metal part of my bumper for two reasons...

1. im cutting my bumper
2. i do plan on actually selling this car someday... and thats a pretty serious change

with a 6inch high fmic, i could fit it under the metal bumper, and it would not hang below the plastic bumper cover... but 7" i dont know what to do - maybe i could mount it farther back, so 1" of it is actually behind the metal bumper... hmmm

 

f#ck it.. just cut it..

a) people won't notice that it was cut..
b) you can always get another one from a junk yard
c) by the time your sell your car . .its going to be so cheap. .a cut bumper won't mean ****.
d) because i said so

 

what kinda intercooler do you have? is it new? are the endtanks welded on already? do you have pix? if you dont' wanna cut nethign i might buy the intercooler off of you so you can go with a smaller one.

 

Mingo-
since when were you blown?

aiya.

everyone and their mom has turbo now..

 

its custom made, it is new, the endtanks are welded on already, I do have pix, and I cannot find a better intercooler for the price that i Like as much, so i probably wont sell but i can get you a email or phone# of the place I got it from if you are interested... email me if you want info (i can give you pics, etc)

 

i just wanted a fmic for my intake.. i'm a poser

 

Please email me this info, if you could.
Also, is this air-to-air? or air-to-water intercooler?

Thx

 

looks like air-to-air to me.
