well I used them alittle different then you just picktured them Joey. I used one original mounting point hole of the cooler to mount it right to the IC. The otherside obvisouly doesn't line up. I put the brackets on with the openning pointed down. The side that the original mount wouldn't line up on the intercooler has teh bracket holding it down. With the brackets turned over they rest on the bumper. So its kinda like a support/spacer to the bumper.

Let me know if you want to run a 130hp sports bike =)

I think Digital wasn't talking about racing, I think he meant he'll let Paul "start and drive" the bike and he'll "start and drive" the SVT.
Its coming along nicely. Keep us updated!

Some more updates...where I ran the wires and lines for the gauges inside the cabin...
Everything installed except for a couple of vacuum/boost lines and the intake/filter pipe...
How I changed the powersteering cooler mount again and some misc. shoots of the other pipe coming off the intercooler and through the frame...
Almost done

It's amazing to go to shows with a stock CSVT and people "wonder how i managed to cram a v6 in the compartment"....i tell em its stock and they're like "wow oh crap"
then i(and others) see people cramming turbos up in this place.....
its crazy, but cool.
can i get a ride too??....i'll ride trunk if i have too.

Thanks for all the compliments!
so is your running yet ?
actually I still need to install the piping ot the fender well area and the air filter, but I cut the coupler to the turbo inlet to short so I couldn't get everything to line up.
its pretty fast already at only 3 psi :drool: can't wait to see what 10 psi is like :laugh:
