nice! what they dont know dont hurt um! my ic is too big so i need a new one but its ok because todd still has to ship my harness and new intake pipe.. i guess he can just ship them together.

Mightygnu

what are you doing with your intercooler that is to large? and how is it to large? lol.

java09

look at the pics on the last page.. my intercooler protrudes out the bottom about 2 inches and is damn close to the ground. i can drive it just not over speed bump!! even the small ones im scared of! the ic is jsut to many rows its two big, on page 79 i compared mine to phils.. mines bigger by 4 rows..

olaHalo

so you have a bigger intercooler? is that why? maybe if you shaved off the little nipples on the top.
i kept mine on and thats why its lower than phils.
phil has no nipples

java09

yeah but my ic has 4 more rows making it two inches longer in height... thats why it sticks out.. even if i cut those off.. it would still be sticking out! he jsut sent me the wrong one..

olaHalo

lemme go outside and take some pics of my IC. to compare them. brb
k my battery died and this is all i got


lol bad pics. but mine doesnt come down like yours does. but i cant hook those straps back on though

phresh47

sorry to be off topic but im gettin the basik kit from todd does anyone know if i need to get slimmer radiator fans or would i be ok with the stock ones

java09

you wont need slim fans becasue you have the shorty manifold and the turbo wont need the clerance space.

and matt.. thanks for the pics and yeah thats what mine should look like.. just like yours because you didnt cut off the nipples either.

phresh47

no i upgraded to the newer manifold that he ahs available so i take it with that i would need slimmer fans?

java09

I don't know then..

olaHalo

np java. ya i have the nipples on the top and bottom. it sits fine to me.

phresh
so you got the Ver 2 manifold? isnt the only difference between the basik kits and the stage 1 the manifold and turbo?
if you got the new mani im sure todd will send you everything you need with it. so if you need fans, hell give them to ya

phresh47

yeah im not sure he never mentioned anything about slimmer fans in the kit i sent him a pm so ill find out tomorrow thanks for the help guys

java09

I'm just hoping that I don't haveto wait for a new ic. I need a new one soon.

aen

don't wait, just go cut the crash bar, a bit more work but at least you wont' be scared.

actually, it won't be that hard...see if you can take the crash bar off, bring it to a shop and have them just cut a portion off for like 20 bucks

Mr_Meaty

yeah, i say keep the bigger IC and cut the crash bar. But tha'ts just me.

phresh, not sure what your talking about upgrading the basic kit...there is only one manifold for it, and you should not need slim fans for it. Our mani don't work with that kit due to turbo AND external WG.

phresh47

mr meaty according to todd on the basik kit we were able to upgrade the manifold to the ver 2 that he has just put out so thats what i ended up doing.... not sure if that helps

aen

doesn't that just give you the stage 1?

phresh47

i would have to chage one of ic pipings as well as the turbine housing if i wanted to externally wastegated i think thats it not sure if im missing anything...so i guess u could say that yea

Mr_Meaty

If that's the case, you will most likely need t move the fans, but as no one has seen the version 2 EL mani yet, we can't be sure. But Todd said it's just shorter. I guess it also depends on the size of the turbo. Todd would be the only one that knows for sure.

aen

my turbo wasn't even the reason i had to move everything, it was the wastegate placement.
