I got the passenger side intercooler installed today.  Also, got started on modifying the fuel rails which I will post pictures of when  I am done.

Thats a really unique place to put those intercoolers - gotta make use of all the available space, huh? At least it should be easy to get all the air out of the fluid side - no need for those little radiator vent things! How are you going to plumb the intake to and from them? It looks like the outer exit would have the pipe coming straight up out the fender? That could look pretty cool in a Mad Max-type way anyway

the inlets to the intercoolers have a path directly into the engine bay where the turbos will be. Coming out of the intercooler it will follow the fender an an oval shaped tube and then tuck in front of the radiator where it will merge with the one from the other side and then go into the engine.

Well I broke out the $40,000 tubing ovalizer.

It actually turned out way better than I expected.

That looks good.  Looks like it will be well hidden too.

Looking good! I love how the intercooler is a perfect fit for that spot.

I got both intercooler piping sections over the fenders completed. The rest of the piping should be easy. I think I'm going to mount up the heat exchanger and oil cooler next.  The FC guys will recognize the oil cooler when I post pics.
