| The Rigg Job | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The intercooler I took off of a '90 Eclipse Turbo out of the local import junkyard; $75 with all the turbo hoses I wanted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||
| I
used a
hole saw and bored the hole right in front of the intercooler, with my
car lowered 1.5" I only have about an inch of clearance on left turns
so
keep that in mind. This is the second time I have tried to install it,
the first time I cut the elbow off of the intake part, if you plan on
doing
it like this, DON'T cut off the elbow.
It fit in front of the wheel well very nicely like this, it's almost like it was forgotten from the factory. I plan on installing a fan for it soon. |

| I had to butcher my airbox to get the plumbing to fit but I have planned on doing it anyways. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||
| I had to cut
the hoses
so they would route around my battery and not interfear with the hose
between
the blow-off valve and the turbo intake.
I'm not rich and I can't afford to buy fancy hoses and sort so I used exhaust connectors to connect the hoses; worked great. |

| I cut the end of the out pipe because the angle was too great. It's a short distance from there to the blow-off valve and reaching it was fairly easy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| With the two brakets left holding it in, it doesn't move at all. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
