The first of many issues with fitting this kit was getting the intercooler pipe from the turbo past my relocated air filter setup.
Managed to re-position it to allow the intercooler pipes to run by it.
I might have to get some more samco and piping as the airfilter piping sits a little lower to the ground, there is more clearance then it looks, but it's about an inch lower then before due to the piping.
Temporary cable ties holding the intercooler, only drill bit I didn't have for metal was the one I needed grr. It's still fixed securely with mounts underneath into the chassis.
Lots of trimming required to get the huge cooler to sit behind the bumper, reasonable neat job, however I've decided I'm going with a custom bumper soon anyway, so I wasn't too worried.
Another pic from the front
Engine now looks much more open and easy to work on, next job is to give a big clean up.
Also notice no BOV, I inquired about my HKS SSQV fitting with the new setup, I was told it would fit fine, but after buying the small samco hosing, I now need another adapter as the one I have only works with the stock intercooler setup.
So I now have to wait until I can get that part to even drive the thing.
Anyway lots of progress made and nice to actually get some time to spend modifying the car
