So my package came a bit early, came sat afternoon though I wasn't expecting it until monday.

Of course I couldn't wait to install it so I started right away, had a few hiccups along the way. The race intercooler required alot of trimming to the splash guards surrounding the condensor/radiator so that part of the installation probably added an hour or so, I found out the hard way you cannot install the bracket and then the head unit, it all needs to be one piece which proved difficult considering I was installing it by myself. With the help of a bungee cord I was able to hold it all in place while I bolted it on though. I also spent an hour fighting the tubing only to find I was doing it wrong the entire time so that was fun. Getting all the tubing in place and clamped down really proved to be the biggest pain, I have an automatic car so there are trans lines running in the way everywhere you look, everything else went as smoothly as I could've hoped. Not sure if its supposed to tuck away or not but the tubing hangs down lower than the under car splashguard so I have yet to reinstall it. Tuning end of it is kicking my ass now.

Nice! The tubing hangs lower on my car also. I removed the splash guards after having installing a k-member and havent had any issues
