Cut the two holes in the front support and mount the intercooler. You'll run the cold side straight up and over and hook it into the throttle body. The hotside gets run under the engine, around the oil pan (in between the pan and the tranny, you'll have to remove the tranny support if I remember right), and then up behind the engine to the turbo.

i just couldnt figure out the cold side because there seemed to be too much straight behind the radiator to run piping there. but i appreciate the diagram and any further experiences anyone has had!

Yeah you do have to move the PCM over because its in the way of the cold side of the intercooler/piping.

I'm trying, but i'm having issues finding them... I'm pretty sure there was a pre-drilled hole on the cold side that i used that lined up everything perfect.

I do have a video that may be of some help... not sure since i can't view it from work.

try this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...37747330924224
