Hello.
Currently building a m50 turbo smooth bay. Build thread is on here.
Struggling to find a intercooler to fit behind a prefacelift bumper. Also struggling with the pipe work.
Can anyone share any advise or pictures of their setups? Regardless of engine etc
thanks

hey thanks man. Had a flick through there a few times, no one with a pre facelift though. The lower valance is just way too tight to the bumper it seems.

i went under i made some simple mounts on the base and essential a giant grub screw for the top - its a saab 9000 one, i recently got an identical all metal abbot racing one for £35 so that will go in the same place
i went under the lower valance both side - by the belts on the engine side and through the chassis (cut the circular bung out) the chassis on the passenger side
initially i made some crappy steel mandrels, connected with silicones but have know bought a generic ebay aluminium kit. Just for the bends as its cheaper than getting individual parts - keep the tubes smaller will lower the lag

Saab or Volvo 740/760 unit should be slim enough
Other options are fit one horizontally and dust some air too it, RX7 and Supra style iirc
some trimming required but it will go in
