Compressor output pipe leading to driver's side of intercooler (shortest path) through the sheet metal just beside the radiator or underneath the bottom chassis rail curving back up to the intercooler that way. Intercooler output pipe passing through on passenger side in the same manner leading directly to throttle body with all custom piping. It's going to be an absolute BITCH to say the least and it is the only real snag in this project. Everything else is falling into place quite nicely. I've yet to complete the power, +5V supply to crank angle sensor, water injection, boost controller, engine temp sensor, air temp sensor and wideband EGO sensor wiring. The Clifford alarm will go in immediately after that is completed. Then hopefully I'll get the right plugs in for my injectors and replace them too. But getting back to the topic, what do you guys think for a "stealthy" FMIC?? I want to avoid using an aftermarket front bumper because it then means I'd have to go a full bodykit to compliment it. MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!
Now the problem with creating a sleeper is that the front bumper leaves very little room to mount a decent FMIC. To recap my original plan, for those of you who may not remember, I intend to have an intercooler which will have a height reaching between the bottom chassis (i.e. from the jacking point) to the bottom of the nose (i.e. just below where our registration plates are mounted). To account for the unusually small height, I intend to make the length of the intercooler reach from one side to the other. Now after some close inspection, I'm guessing that I could hopefully place the pipework thus (look at it from your perspective, not the Australian)....
