  • It's going to get tight once you add the tanks and plumbing! Either way- THAT ROCKS!

    • It's still a money pit and space waster. I'm living on value brand cheerios and pb+j so I can buy parts. There's 2 bikes and 2 or 4 cars that I need to paint but can't till this is out of the garage.

      The plan is to trim the bumper supports back another 2 inches or so. Then were going to try to bend and weld a tube to them so I still have some support in front. With the intercooler angled like it is in that pic it should hopefully fit. It's a tdi passat core that I got out of a dumpster for free. Just had busted plastic end tanks and was twisted alittle.

          • Well I have pics of the cooler mounted and the bumper on but... I think the hard drive on my laptop is f'd and I can't upload from my phone. So I'll try to when my roommate comes home.

                          • Planning on painting them black. Aqua stivas don't look that great with body color bumpers imo.

                              • What turbo are you running? With that big of an intercooler you have to have an equally big turbo.
