Does the bottom pipe go thru the bull bar?
nice job on the install, i beleive i recently ordered similar intercooler, it was the upgrade for the xr6 intercooler, they claimed it gave the xr6 a 20kw gain over the standed, so i assumed it would work well in the nav, was going to do pipe work my self but after speaking to the local performance exhaust shop who are going to be doing my exhaurst upgrade, they will also do the intercooler pipe work for $200-$500 depending how much work involved.
so once my snorkle and intercooler arrive i will do it all at the same time. post some pics aswell. but definetly i nice install on your behalf.

Thanks mate! I don't think I would have done anything differently to do it again. Maybe thicker pipe. The walls on what I used were only like 1-1.5mm thick. Would be nice to have 2-2.5mm think. Only reason is that I think it would make it a bit quieter. The turbo noise is very noticeable inside the cab when driving. Not so bad outside and I'm used to it now anyway. The exhaust isn't very much louder at all. 3" dump pipe, straight through cat and straight through muffler. The difference us in the speed the turbo spools up. It's poles apart from standard! It's instant! Don't notice anymore power (doesn't feel to take off harder or anything) but it just doesn't slow down on hills. At all. Much flatter torque curve I imagine. Egt sensor in, gauge to go in next week end as well as boost gauge. Then the boost controller, give it a bit more (prob set it at 17-18 psi, I'll have a play with that) then the module! More fuel than! That will give a noticeable result!
gees, where are you located? $500 sounds a lot better than what i was quoted!
My northside one arrived today, it wasn't $500 but it looks like a top notch job, better than anything I'd come up with. If its easy enough to fit ill be happy I spent the extra coin. If you confident with doing you own, I say save the coin and do your own, good work on finder other ways

Cheers Pete
