I think I already know the answer, but how does this sound. I priced up the costs to construct a front mount setup. Using 2.5 in mandrel bent tubing, all chrome polished, heavy duty clamps, silicone connectors, and an intercooler measuring 9.5in tall, 31.5 end to end w/25in long core, and 3 in thick, my total came to $640. The stuff is all from eBay, and all new. The intercooler is a bar and plate style, says it was pressure tested to 35 psi, and the seller has one that's an inch taller on a turbo 350 chevy engine throwing 950hp to the wheels. I was shocked when I added the prices on everything up. The IC even has brackets on it that make for an easier installation. I know it won't be easy fitting everything in, but for the price, I think I can make it work. I measured the area on the car for the IC and there's about an inch or two to spare. I think I found my new project. Any feedback is appreciated, especially those already running custom front mounts. Later, Alyn.
