I'm getting ready to mount up my FMIC (31x12x4 XS Power) so I can start on the cold side piping while I wait for my turbo to come back from Precision. I've done a lot of searching on the subject and have found a couple of nice examples (Joel(PA)'s car being one of them), so if you turbo guys have any shots of your cars without the front bumpers showing how you mounted it to the frame, post them up!!

This thread may serve as an inspiration for anybody who finds themselves in this position, I found a few old threads on the topic but the pictures didn't work.

Here's my car as it sits, all sad, dirty, and wanting to be worked on:


Here's Joel(PA)'s car (I hope he doesn't mind)



I also saw a picture of one where the braces were on the bottom, going to the bottom radiator support, but couldn't find it again.

Even if you don't have pics, suggestions would be welcome as well. I've been slowly gathering NA-T parts for so long that I'm ready to get this going!

i just got 2 strips of 1/4" steel from home depot, cut them to size, connected 2 to the bottom rad support, and connected 2 to the top of the crash support bar by drilling two holes. The hardest part is having everything line up 100 percent with the hoses tightened down (I had a universal ebay piping kit, alot of cutting needed to be done)

I dont have recent pics, but I'll to get them up.

Thanks! I have some strips of metal I just want to get a game plan together before I just start blindly trying to put this somewhere.

Thanks! I guess I wasn't searching the right things, though I believe it was "intercooler mounting" brought up the old Chris Threadgill build thread from 2003.
