Installed my new johnny race car 5 inch intercooler today, that is my custom home made turbo logo on the front.
is that zip-tied? please don't leave it like that
zip tie racing rules.
Looks good, how much trimming is the bumper cover going to need to be reinstalled???

You're joking about the zip ties... right?

Im sure those zipties will wear through and snap if you leave it like that.

na, zipties own, the piping will hold it up anyway.
Zip ties aren't goin to cut it, do it right or don't do it at all.

the weight and vibrations will cause the zip ties to get cut
and its alot of weigh to leave for the pipes to hold up unless you are using support braces on them near the intercooler
looks smaller than the 1 i had , i couldnt use my driving lights , and it pissed me off too , cause my projectors sucked arse
God I hope yer kidding about the zip ties and this is just a really good joke, if not I can't wait for the "my ic fell off and I ran over it, is it still effective if it's 1/2" thick" post.
his car...its up to him...

Zip ties arent going to cut it.... A friend of mine has a 200sx and had his intake zip tied up (about 6 of em) and they snapped and his CAI fell into his wheel well. Ur right they dont rust... but the do dry out and become brittle.. Lose em or ull pay for it...
time to ressurect this post!
what is the proper way to mount an intercooler? using zip ties can be temporary im sure, but what is the real way to do it? using welds and clamps n stuff?

find a good shop that can weld aluminum to aluminum and have them make you brackets to weld to the intercooler, and bolt to your subframe.
