I bought a CX Racing intercooler a while back and I was at the stage where I could install it. 
I had to cut some metal away from the support braces for the radiator support so that the cooler ends would clear as well as the silicone hoses. 
I made some pedestal brackets to mount the bottom bolt bungs into, so that it sits in place the same as a radiator would. 
I used some 1" grommets so that theres no metal on metal on the pedestals. For the top I bend up some 4mm alloy into Z shapes and used some rivnuts to secure them to the bottom of the radiator support. Its solid as a rock and works a treat. 





Next up, The dump pipe and wastegate pipes.

Made a Throttle Body Elbow. Bought some cast alloy elbow at the closest size I could get to the throttle body. Then bought some 10mm alloy plate. Designed some templates out of cardboard to great the flanges. Took quite a bit of work to shape these. Between hole-sawing the centre holes and cuting it out and filing them to shape. Then Drilling and taping threads to suit some grub screws which I then cut down as they were too long.
Once the flanges were made, I had to make a small cut on the elbow peice and tigged the lot together. Then filled smooth the welds to give it that factory cast look. Needs alittle filler welding here and there but otherwise its done. I'll also weld the inside lips and burr them smooth to give a smooth transition for the air.





Next up, I'll either mod the Throttle body and have it ready to go with all its fittings etc or make a start on the Dump Pipe.

Out stand ing. 

Thats some real impressive work rigght there!

Real tidy work mate.

Managed to finish modding the fuel rail. Cut off the old feed and return pipes and blocked them off with very small peices I cut out and tigged on.
Cut the 2 ends off and welded on some weld on male bungs. Turned out really good. Will probably re-tig weld the slight sink back that the weld left behind and regrind it to make it look smooth and factory.
Another peice to the puzzle.



Next up, finish the throttle body elbow.
