    I recommend it also just the only thing is that the stock BOV screws didn't match up with the TMIC. But hey 14 cents later everything worked.

    It's really nice to see intercoolers come down into reasonable price ranges. Between this and the Dynasty Auto one we have some decent choices without spending $500-600 or more. :)

    Don't lose hope -- ANY larger intercooler requires some wrestling. My Perrin took a good while to stick in. If you remove the driver side intercooler bracket you get a lot more room to play with.

    Would putting a spray lubricant on the hoses also make it easier to slip the IC in place?

    Can you reschedule the tune until after that nifty IC was in place, it might be worth the wait.

    See if anybody close to you can help you out. It can be a bitch to install at times but doable. :) Don't give up!

    some of the ebay IC's are physically IMPOSSIBLE to install. They are the wrong size/shape. Unfortunately this is one of those "You get what you pay for things." I know *SOME* ebay tmic's were able to be FORCED to fit, however we've had string of them lately that there was no way...

    This was the same TMIC that I installed. It was a bit of a biatch, but it worked.
