you are a life saver thanks i picked one up today and every one tells me i cant do it do you have to cut the frame at all

 

No the 3rd gen intercooler you have to cut the frame.

the 2nd gen one will work and be a HUGE improvement over no i/c

 

when i set my intercooler on the frame it sticks 8inchs above the radiator so how do i do this

 

Follow the sticky at the top of the forum. VERY indepth and will explain everything for you. There is a fair amount of fitting to be done. Its not that bad..

 

Are you sure what you have is a 2nd gen intercooler? They are really not much taller, if any, than the 1st gen.

 

im not sure the guy i got it from said it was a second gen one but idk

 

Take a couple pictures of it and post 'em up. We can tell you what it's from.

 

the dimensions are 28x25" roughly

 

do you have to move the ac or oil cooler or any of the coolers

 

Simple. Measure the height. 2nd GEN 12V. 15.5 tall. 2nd GEN 24V 16 inch tall. That would be AS mounted from top to bottom. That should give you what you need to know for spec's on what you have, to what you need. Your AC will be fine...

 

it must be a 3rd gen one then

 

2ndGen inlets- close to the bottom/ top, depending on how you mount it.

3rdGen inlets- near the center, top to bottom.

 

u must have a different one. here is what a 2nd gen one should look like..

Here is what my 2nd gen install looked like
