pics from cheap FMIC install

[green02turbo]

Heres some pics from my Ebay 28x9x2.75" 2.5" I/O and 2.25" piping install. My rad support is a little tweaked rearward so this intercooler fit between it and the rebar support ok.
I re-used my stock outlet piping , but not the pancake pipe. I stuck the BOV that came with the piping kit on the hot side, outside the bumper. It sticks out a little. It actually works well and with the flange I can replace it with a Greddyif i wanted to. I left my original DV in place and just wanted the outter one to open under heavy boost. I also drilled the three holes one .700" and two 1/4" tapped, for the Charge pressure sensor into the cool side tank and made up a wiring extension. All done in about 6 hours. I'm using rubber on the outlet of the IC now and will replace it with Silicone in a few days. I'm going to build some nicer brackets to mount the core. The plumbers tape was all i had at the time. I'd reccomend and wish I had gotten a smaller core now. Like a 28x5.5x2.5". I waste about 3 inches thats hidden behind my rebar support. The IC was $100 shipped and I would have only spent another $100 on piping/bov If I had known exactly what I had needed ahead of time.

Ok, got the pics up. As it turns out the BOV from ebay wasn't THAT bad. Once you take one of the springs out it actually works pretty well. It's a diaphram type. It's not too loud because I'm also using my hyperboost valve in normal DV mode.
