Fmax turbo install troubles....HELP!

Hey guys,
I am in the middle of putting on my fmax kit. WEll I got past the first PITA of getting the intercooler to fit. Now I am trying to shoe horn the turbo in, but it appears that the motor mount is in the way. Do I have to cut it? That is a big hassle. Please let me know I am trying to finish it up tonite.
Thanks,
Josh

Hey,
So did you guys cut that hole where the intercooler piping is suppose to run thru on the driverside? I already have my Ps removed so I didn't have to worry about that, but I was wondering if you cut made that hole bigger?
Thanks,
Josh

You shouldn't need to make that hole bigger. The piping doesn't actually go through the hole, the silicon connector is supposed to go through the hole and be slightly deformed then connect to the pipes on both sides.

maybe on the 5th gen...but on the 4th gen we have to add a spacer to get the intercooler to sit correctly...therefore it sits out more and we need to cut the hole

I wondered why one guy who kept e-mailing me was having problems.
