GTS Install kit ?

I finally had a chance to start putting in the 6.0 intercooler today and got the holes cut and got to the part were you have to put on the 2 bottom braces that slide into the side of the intercooler,but when I do that the braces end out being about 1 inch away from the holes i drilled in the sheetmetal because the intercooler is hitting the a/c condensor.I tried pushing the intercooler as tight as I can get it but still no luck.Am I missing somthing here?

Re: GTS Install kit ?

I think you got something wrong. The IC goes in front of the 1/4" flat metal that attaches to the hood latch. Did you remember to flatten out the bottom AC condenser brackets on both sides? Go to my pics and there are some shots of the install. Some of pics show the lower IC brackets. I had to space out the lower IC brackets by doubling up two 3/8 washers. IC was rubbing the hood latch support bar.

Re: GTS Install kit ?

Mine went behind the latch member, but you have to weld an extension to the latch member.

Re: GTS Install kit ?

Have you flattened the lower A/C mounts for clearance? Sounds like that's where your trouble is.

What do you do with the trans cooler?

I used some round hayden zip ties that poke through from the back side of the intercooler to fasten the trans cooler. Found them at NAPA, sorry no part #.

Re: GTS Install kit ?

I think I've installed one kit with that cooler. Seems as I recall I had to make a couple of brackets and put it where the stock one was. I think I had to trim some of the black plastic piece to get it to fit right.
