Mounting the front mount intercooler
I bought one from flat 4 online.. Quality is good etc etc.Just the pishy brackets they give you to mount it are dire.... I have about quarter of my bumper left after trimming it to fit and its secured with zip ties for the time being.My question is... how have other guys mounted the intercooler?? What brackets/methods have you used. Pipe work is straight forward its securing this heavy ******* of and intercooler...thanks in advanceCraig

If you fit the brackets loosely to the intercooler and swivel them round you will find the 'shorter' holes line up ALMOST with a pair of already threaded holes in the bottom crossmember under the radiator. However these are at a different level, lower down. Best thing is to wangle a bolt through both ends of the tie brackets then tighten them down , so bending them to the right shape. Just run a tap through the thread on the car first through, they will be rusted up.

Yes mine's an Autobahn 88, for the money you can't beat them. The piping's not great, the welds are a bit rough, but then they are cheap and in terms of performance, they do the job very well. My charge temps are totally under control and it allowed me another 4 degrees of ignition advance under full boost. The pipes are a bloody tight fit though.

I used the bottom brackets put them in the vice and bent to shape front mount solid now not much of a problem to fit if you got a couple of old sockets you could use these as spacers
