Is your scoop crooked?

I was parked on a hill, and tried to adjust the pic, guess i didnt make it look all that straight. In person it is parallel to the ground

Gorgeous truck. Got a link to the IC by chance? I always cringe seing that pipe going across the fans and in front of the motor. Any reason to? Judging by the hood latch bracket it looks like you didnt have to do anything to the grill. Also, do you have the dimensions of your IC?

yes, but $50 shipping.. plus the tubing was like another $30 shipping

I installed an electric fan in replace of the stock one.. this fan is more tucked in and is a good inch+ of clearance between the blades and pipe. I don't think I'll have any problems with it hitting the piping.

mine is an XS power core, same dimensions as epix, but it has better numbers in core performance.

Re: Custom Front Mount A2A Intercooler

Just paid $99 plus $40 to ship for this one

I wanted something that was somewhat effecient without having to completely block the radiator.. plus I also wanted something with the inlet/outlet on the same side to save the need to run alot of piping to help minimize any lag.

Re: Custom Front Mount A2A Intercooler

What's happenin' with the temp sensor that's located in the IC radiator,when you delete the stock A2W system??what kind of information do it send to the ECM?

Re: Custom Front Mount A2A Intercooler

It doesnt work , that circuit was never correct from day 1 . It was intended to signal a low coolant light in your cluster for the cche and can be made to work .

Re: Custom Front Mount A2A Intercooler

Thought i'd add my version of a fmic to this thread

it will require very little piping due to how its setup, and since i'm fabbing my own upper intake to point the throttle body forward. The turbo to IC pipe will be either 2.5" or 3" (haven't made up my mind yet) and have two 90 bends in it, and the IC to TB pipe will be completely straight and 4" ovular to match the tb.
