Front Mount Sizing
99% Sure from my research this will fit, Just want to confirm with those that have already upgraded the factory intercooler. Too big or just right?

That's about the biggest size you can fit without serious modifications.
It'll fit, you just might need to trim the crash bar down a bit

Try moving that Tial a little closer to the throttle body. If so, you'll lose less boost in the piping between blow-offs...

I've been messing with the placement quite a bit the last day. I actually Kinda like it where I have it now. Basically right off the TB, I'll post a pic when I get home.

This is how I currently have it. Ignore all the piping being used, just scraps I have laying around. Taking my time figuring out placement for everything. Before I hack into all that pretty new piping I have in the trunk

![]() Throttle plate closes, BOV opens, air mass flows out with no reverse pulses back to the compressor wheel, compressor wheel continues to freewheel in the direction it was traveling. I think you want to lose the correct amount of mass to allow the turbo to keep spinning, regardless of where the mass (higher pressure air) exits.

On your tial, what did you do for a boost reference, the stock vacuum line is way to small for what tial recommends, I'd like to avoid tapping the manifold for a 1/4" boost reference, your thread is why I tried putting the tial where it Is lol. Searching had its advantages ![]() Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App Last edited by ridin59vette; 08-25-2014 at 07:30 PM. |

Made some progress today. Nothing is bolted down, bracket is a tight fit and the intercooler is just ziptide for the moment, should get the last few couplers I need tomorrow. Hopefully have some time Monday when I get home to finish it up
