Default Stage one of boost install

Well, today i started the first step towards getting the new set up installed. Got the intercooler mounted and fitted, and got charge pipes all figure out. Almost all the charge pipes i should say, the peice that connects to the turbo will need to wait till i can mount the turbo up so figure out where its gonna need to be cut. Anyone who has done a built kit knows how much this part of the build sucks, its easy to buy the parts, but sometimes getting the fuckers to fit right can be a bitch Alright well here is how the intercooler sits. In these pics you can see my bad ass 10 dollar header from ebay thougth the thing would crack in a week but its still holding stong

Sitting kind of low? Try cutting out a little of the front bumper.

Well in the last picture it looks like it is hanging down more than 1/2 inch. Maybe jsut a shadow but non the less good work and hope you have fun with it.

That would be a good idea except for the fact that the bumper is cut out and the couplings are visible.

It would look good either way, though.

Yea, me and my friend jsut installed a Greddy Turbo Kit on his 04 RSX Type S. We were thinking about painting the intercooler black, but we havent decided yet. I am glad I got to see one first.
