LOL yup, all these aftermarket intercoolers dwarf the stock one badly.
The stock intercooler is so flimsy it's scary. Plastic end tanks FTL.

If anyone was curious...
Stock intercooler weight: 7 lbs
IE: 29 lbs
Thanks man! Will just have to offset that weight w/some lighter wheels
It's tough to say I feel anything with the butt dyno since it has been cool out since I installed it.Ok guys, how about some reviews or driving impressions after install. I am going to be starring at mine until the following weekend.
I'd be surprised if a shop didn't have some clamps lying around. You have 4 after the swap and only need 2 good ones anyways. Also, you want smaller ones that match the stock ones since the IE IC opening is larger than the stock IC opening. That's why they give you 2 bigger clamps for the IC side of the boost hoses.
Bolts hold the crash beam in place and allow you to move the whole assembly back and forth as needed. You just thread a bit of it in.
The 4 screws hold the condensor to the intercooler. The condensor mounts to the 4 tabs on the front of the intercooler. You will have to tap it in place as it is a nice snug fit. Then the 4 screws keep it there (not that it's going to ever come apart anyways, but I guess better safe than sorry).
The last brass plug is for the meth bung. Go ahead and install it on the IC now while it's out. Not as much fun doing it after it's installed.
Thanks but I just noticed that a USB flash drive was included and contains installation instructions
Yup, same ones they have on their website. TBH they aren't the best. I was scratching my head a few times but if you look at it logically it makes sense.
You don't have to do it their way (remove radiator). I couldn't get the hose off it. If not, don't be worried. Just fire up DAP's Revo IC install on youtube and follow it. It's probably actually harder due to the yellow clips, but if one way is impossible and one way is hard then you don't have much choice.
