Essex subaru breakers £480 supplied and fitted, or they can fit ur own one for £150, i don't know what make it is but i can hardly notice the lag and it fits 100%

the pipe that goes to the turbo has been flattened slightly where is passes under the throttle body, as for the intercooler sitting to the side, im going to try n move it over half an inch without disturbing the pipework, the fmic helps reduce charge tempretures which in turn increase power and torque if mapped correctly

Make sure its not touching the black plastic cam cover tho, I have read it has worne through exposing the cam belt on a few!
I "squashed mine a fair few times to make sure it cleared...
Doubt you can move it now mate as it had to be drilled into the bumper bar to attach it...

Doubt it mate... well, doesn't look like it to me...???
I'd get the bumper off, elongate the holes so it'll move over to the N/S alittle more... and hope theres enough give in the pipework...
You may need to use some washers once you've drilled the bumper bar more... but it would be the finishing touch... IMO it really lets the job down... but I am a picky f**ker...
It's not right, but 1 hours work or so would put it right... and look much better for it...

The brackets shouldn't be to hard to sort out, just the PS tank will probably be messy if you were to remove it.
You don't fancy cleaning my engine bay for me do you? I'll supply the beer
