An FMIC of size 600mm (24”) x 300mm(12”) x 76mm(3”) with an End to End" Length of 800mm (32”) will go straight in easily after you remove the Charge cooler rad set-up. You may need to relocate the gearbox cooler tho, power steering cooler should fit fine between the FMIC & Rad.

Install tips would be:

Find a smooth piping route with as least bends as possible.
Clock the turbo.
Try to use hosing (Silicon hose) as pipe joiners as opposed to actual piping runs.
Make sure when using hoses that you have big enough rolled pipe ends so the clamps can hold the hoses tightly on the pipes.

No modification to front bumper needed, all that’s been done here is to remove the lower grill & down lines so the bumper can be filled with mesh & a few custom bling modifications

Engine pic, note turbo is still in the normal position & hasn’t been clocked yet.




Front bumper & FMIC measure up, note the vertical runs are being removed, not needed to fit the FMIC it’s being done for aesthetic reasons.



Good overview of the piping runs.
