i've seen some on here but they're usually at a little bit of distance...saw a few in the turbo engine pics thread but was hoping someone had some closer shots of how they mounted their fmic's...thanks all.

I dont know if it helps, but when i test fitted my HUGE front mount, i fabbed up an aluminum bracked and basically hung it from the hood latch behind the grill, and that held it very well.

i thought about coat hanger wire...couple with some L-brackets cause I don't think the brackets, by themselves, can handle some of the potholes and bumps around here...Comment

i'm gonna pull my car apart next week and see...i was thinking doing the initial mounting with the L brackets and using the coat hanger wiring to reinforce on the ends (inlet/outlet)...i'm trying to elminate buying more misc. items to get off the ground...i wasn't thinking when i bought zinc bolts, nuts and washers for the exhaust mani and realized that wouldn't do so i'm going to napa tomorrow to get some hardened/tempered steel mani bolts, etc...and i should be ready to start bolting everything up....thanks, guys.Comment

might be a good idea to bolt it down as well, ppl do steal intercoolers.

You know whats funny also my intercooler is pressed up against my bumper by the time you even try to pull to pull it off. The problem solver will be at that same persons dome.Only people whop bolt them down are the ones with their intercoolers being too small or worried about them falling out. Trust me if your worried about people stealing intercoolers you got a problem. They tend to take the whole car.Originally posted by Backfire32might be a good idea to bolt it down as well, ppl do steal intercoolers.
