get ready for a fight lol
i found it easier to remove nose panel to gain all the access you need
with stock intercooler and afm setup my AIT was at 120 cruising down the highway...today driving to work with my new setup was a nice 105...so it definetly is cooling the air down better
what youll need to do to mount it like mine:
remove stock intercooler and oil cooler
remove brace from nose panel to panel above radiator(sorry brain fart) and it has 1 bolt that runs down infront of radiator
remove both horns that are mounted to above^^ bracket
you will need to cut the above bracket off...it must be reinstalled and bolt to nose otherwise your hood latch bracket is way to flimsy and may cause hood to open at high speeds
remove stock intercooler and oil cooler brackets
pop over flow tank out of your bracket
now the easy part is over with...its time to get custom ghetto
for the passenger side of intercooler i used a bracket that points up ontop of the crash bar...simply bent a piece of flat metal into where i want it(i used the stock intercooler/oil cooler brackets lol)
cut to fit...makes it easier if you have the car jacked up high...then use jack stands to hold the intercooler up
i pushed the intercooler as far up as i could...it still hangs about 1/2-1" below bumper with no stock lip..but im happy with how it turned out
^^this is where i mounted my bracket to on the crash bar
now onto the driver side of the intercooler bracket
again i went custom ghetto and used a piece of flat metal bent into shape and bolted to the long bolt that holds the crash bar to the front of car
so with the mounted out of the way i originally want to run my IC piping like stock
i purchased 2 3-2 1/2" 90 degree couplers off ebay...heres the link to the 4 layer couplers

i had some issues with the upper coupler hitting the frame and not fitting correctly...i was worried about vibrations and coupler wearing a hole in itself
so what i did next was cut a section of the headlight bracket for a piece of intercooler pipe to run up and through the hole behind headlight(running it this way keeps you from closing your headlight
)
for the turbo to intercooler i kept the stock outlet pipe in place and the small pipe thats bolted to the frame rail
you'll need a 2 1/4-2 1/2" reducer coupler
have fun and i did this in a 3 day period...im sure its do able in a day but i took my time
