For all you people who buy second hand coolers or just purchased the intercooler without kit and are thinking... how the hell am I going to put this in?? I just installed an intercooler with all piping, mounts, everything made by myself. Not easy and you need to be good with tools but I managed to fit a 300*600*100 core in the ba xr. There are some comprimises but for the price it cost me, im happy to live with the comprimises. Core Thickness Corner of bar needed to cut Grinded corners and in Pick of top mounts and ac pipe bent up Pic of small brackets (flat steel) used to lift up ac radiator for ac pipe clearance Driver side ac lift bracket Bottom cooler mounts bolted to radiator support next to power steer cooler (power steer cooler brackets were bent back paralell with intercooler Pipes in Close up driver side, oem coldside pipe under headlight cut just past boost sensor, hotside oem cut to fit top finished Reassembled Cons...lost spotlight drivers side to intercooler pipe (I couldnt care less), hangs a bit low, trimming needed to bumper round pipes. I wanted to retain underboonet factory ill be painting all the pipes and cooler and brackets black, rounding all the sharp corners of brackets etc cleaning it up. For those who dont mind its easier to run the pipes next to radiator passenger side and replace factory pipes. Also forgot to say radiator top brackets have to be moved back about 15mm for ac condensor clearance
