You'll need to cut a lot of the bumper away, and probably cut one of the support beams. I know I did on my Hybrid one....

Didn't have to move any bottles though.

But already got fmic and think top mount suck dick.. Just my opinion.

Just think they look better plus cold air all the way and more hot air can escape from the engine bay without the tmic in the way

Default fmic

you shoulda got a japspeed one off here in the group buys, comes with instructions, all parts needed, the smaller overflow bottle, the brackets to mount the intercooler in place! and it was a bargain price! Yeh u gotta cut a fair bit out of ur bumper, an remove the water bottle to get the piping back into the engine bay! i fitted walbro pump, sti injectors, vf35 an the front mount an got 320bhp from the standard 225bhp!
