Well I started putting my intercooler on, needless to say Greddy's instructions suck. on top of that they give you a bracket to relocate the A/C tank and I didn't even need to do that, the pipe cleared just fine plus i didn't want to bend those metal lines. anyhow on to pics

everything removedcore onfinished productflipped the air horns and airbag sensor brackets backwards and bent in a littlenotch need to be cut here to get the lower brackets to even meet the subframedriver side piping, where i will mount the bovcoming out the driver side fenderpassanger side, there was a bracket on the bottom of the windshield fluid tank that had to be scraped completelyand to the throttle body

thats it for now. I haven't started cutting away at the bumper reinforcements since its midnight and i am sure the neighbors would love the shrill sound of metal being cut by a saws-all. more pics when all back together

Looks good, quality parts! It looks like your washer tank should clear fine in the pics. Why did you have to scrap it?

if you look at the first pic you can see a long metal bracket right under the tank. the pipe went right through that spot so i just took the bracket off

so the greddy kit routes it so that the factory size battery stays in the stock place. nice. no way for use to the reinforcement eh?

you could probably figure a way to use the reinforcement, but there are two other brackets it bolts to and i sat there wiggle and pulling on it and no problem.
