Ok I have the wimpy side mount on now but I have a front mount intercooler. I'm not sure about the size it's not with me right now but it fits right between the metal bumper mounts on the chassis. I got it at a deal but didn't know it would be so hard to find piping. I just saw a piping kit on ebay for like $100 but it's not for the upper hot side, and it has the hole for recirculation of the BOV. I have seen people run CAs without the recirculation do I have to have it? And when I install the front mount do need to have a BOV? I guess what I'm asking is if someone could tell me the best and cheapest way to do the front mount piping. The Diy kit's have all kinds of bends and stuff that I don't think I need. Just want to get a picture. If I could get piping from another car at a junkyard(Volvo,Saab)? We have a u pull it here and they have low prices and half price thursdays and I'm pretty crafty so I could figure it out with a little help.
