ouch, yeah I caught that thread....But how did having that size intercooler cause you to have problems like you have? If I remember correctly we both have the same intercooler from Mahonroy and my hood latched fine (and believe me, I've driven the car at speeds to test the hoods integrity many-a-time LOL)









[I'm trying my best to ptype coherently, finishing off my 6-12paqck of corona ;0 :D)

Yea,cut out and weld back in.Also there are hand size dents above both doors in the roof rail

Also remember my hood latch would not clear the intercooler so I had to rely on hood pins.Not this time around.My small intercooler is goin in and that cooler will be sold to first highest bidder lol.
Come on people,own a piece of history lol
Daddy needs a bigger turbo

lol, maybe 3-4-5 acutally :D, but thats b/c I've grown accustomed to other ways of "celebrating":D

But 05, how come you're hood couldnt latch? did you cut the hood support to high?

HOLY SCHNIKEY"S, I thought mine was big....hmmm. I gues FMIC kits between the tib and xd are not so interchangeable after all lol

install looks good though, what size fmic are you going with next? link?
