how did everyone mount their BD intercooler? the kit i got didnt come with brackets of any sort to hold the intercooler to the frame? i need to mount the intercooler so i can bring my car to the muffler shop and have them custom make me a cold pipe so i dont have to relocate my battery. anyone have pix of the brackets they used so i can make one too? thanks!

Your intercooler didn't come with the bars welded to the bottom side?I bought the entire kit as pictured (without the couplers, which don't come with it anyway). The intercooler mounted directly to the frame. I did need to trim the bars by 2" and re-drill the holes so that it would clear the bumper...and some more trimming of the tubes as a result.

Ps: You don't have to relocate the battery (much). I bought a smaller battery (little bigger than a miata battery), and mounted it sideways. That easily clears the opening for the cold pipe to pass through.
