I need to do some more trimming & fitting. I was going to work on it today, but haven't been feeling overly great. I will probably work on trying to finish things next weekend.....birthday present to myself
Mocked up the radiator today. Fits very well! Had to get a bolts welded on to fix a previous shop's screw up.
I'm going to try and finish the hose routing tomorrow. I'm going to have to cut the lower horizontal & vertical slats in the lower bumper. Hopefully I can finish everything tomorrow or Sunday.
I had to cut the lower slats on the bumper skin. I need to cut a hole in the bumper skin for the line going to the intercooler, but it should work really well. I'm very happy with how everything is going together. I think this setup will be much more effective/efficient then my previous setup, plus look better.
I pulled two bone head moves. First one I hooked up the inlet & outlet backwards on the intercooler. So I swapped that around. Other issue I realized I should have done is have the shop put a vent/bleed screw on the top of the exchanger header to help bleed off air. I ran my hoses so the inlet is at the top and outlet at the bottom. Good for thermal reasons, bad for venting air from the radiator.

Bit of a revival:
I found some info on the turbo->I/C hose here.
