VRSF Intercooler Guys: Installation

335imax · 03-20-2015, 08:15 PM

Received the Stepped 5 inch VRSF Intercooler, it came with a rubber straight tube, or pipe to connect to the passenger side and rubber 90 deg pipe (driver side) Do I have to reuse, or cut some of my existing plastic piping to attach this thing? How do I remove that pressed metal clamp on my original plastic pipe.

Cut it with a dremel. It's a one time use clamp you dont need it

Can't quite get the passenger side all the way up. Its not perfectly level with the Driver's side. Is there a trick? Don't want to over tighten. Feels like its jammed up all the way and maybe hitting something but only on the passenger side.

You need to remove a plastic supprt piece. It's a small triangular piece that is used to hold up the radiator. It will wiggle out if you work it hard enough. No need to cut.

I think I found it. How much of it should I remove. It appears to be holding up the radiator? Not sure I can remove without breaking it. OR is this not it.

Looks like it. It wiggles out. I removed it on mine and my buddies with no problems. IC fits perfect once this piece is removed.
