24630, New pics of the 1G side mount IC in car(5 pic load) Posted by XtremeRS, Jun-15-02 08:41 AM
I got the IC mounted today, and it turned out pretty good. Made my own brackets and its very solid. Hopefully this will work out fine for me. I am getting custom made, mandrel bent 2" exuast piping this monday to complete the install. I found out the exaust shop accross the street from my shop has a mandrel bender :) Since we do work for eachother, i'm getting a really good hook up on the work. The couplings you see there are pvc pipe couplers, which hopefully will do for now until i can get some silicone ones, The custom pipe will fit right onto the HRC pipe. See where the right angle bend is at the BOV? I am cutting this out, and thats where the new piping will go. I will cut off the existing BOV flange off of the bend, and weld it onto the new piping. Well here are some pics..Cant wait to get this hooked up and runnin! 7 PSI intercooled is what i plan on for now.

 This pic is reversed, it just looks like its on the passengers side..

 Here you can see the black 90 degree coupling under the fuse box, this will go to the tubo outlet
 Here is the view form the drivers side, with the cut out plasic in the wheel well for air flow out the IC

I would cover the IC with some type of meshing to prevent rocks from being thrown against it as the wheel turns.
Otherwise it looks very nice.

Personally I think it should work rather well. One of the guys in my car club is pushing 17psi w/ a T25 using the stock sidemount w/ no probs. Looks like a clean install though.
