[QUOTE="ModularSpeed, post: 10938031, member: 56332"] So I decided to mount the intercooler. IT IS AMAZING HOW WELL ALL OF THIS PIPING FITS.....I threw the piping on, and placed the intercooler into the "base" position using some bolts and wire....then connected all of the cold side. [ATTACH=full]218998[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]218999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219000[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219001[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219002[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219003[/ATTACH] Everything was perfect. I then placed a floor jack under the intercooler....positioned it where I wanted it, and marked the holes for the intercooler brackets. [ATTACH=full]219004[/ATTACH] Drilled the holes, and used the supplied brackets, and hardware to mount. I used some loctite on the bolts. [ATTACH=full]219005[/ATTACH] After mounting it, I was not 100% satisfied with the integrity, so I went ahead and retained the bolts I initially used to "hang" the IC.....as you can see, they keep the IC from tilting forward, which it wanted to do. With these bolts in place, the IC is ROCK SOLID....it wont even budge... [ATTACH=full]219006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219008[/ATTACH] Next, I mounted the wastegates. I had ONE bolt on each waste gate give me issues. I truly do not think it was my doing, as I have done this quite a few times on other WGs without issue, but anyways....one bolt on each WG ended up stripped when removing them to put the 8LB springs in each WG. [I]The main reason I don't think it was my error, is the bolt on each WG was super hard to turn from the get go.....and when removed, just the tips of the bolts had aluminum gunked on the threads.....so they stripped from the get go when removing.
