Continued from page 12....

Had to modify the RT Apron for piping. Decided to install sound pad to make it look a bit cleaner




Lower piping being ran through apron



Intercooler installed. Aligning the piping



Also had to trim the RT Reinforcement extension on the bottom. Nothing serious

For maximum air flow to intercooler we had to modify the reinforcement....See Below





We went ahead and refinished the reinforcement. Even though it's not seen, I think it looks way cleaner this way

Supercharger oil reservoir, filter, and oil cooler installed



Reinforcement installed...The modification made to the reinforcement matched perfectly with the intercooler

Cut the absorber to match the reinforcement for maximum airflow







To keep air flow going to the intercooler, we had to cut the inside of the bumper to match the reinforcement

Cut lines marked



Perfect cutout!



Bumper installed! With the upper shield removed you can see how nice everything fits. Also, easy access to the oil reservoir

This requires quite a bit of customization.....
