the mounting brackes on the AMS FMIC are about 4 inches back and the intercooler won't fit on that bracket.

yes i put the foam back on i just took it off to be careful. the bracket is already attached to the AMS FMIC. you can kind of see it if you look at the vertical comparison it's not real clear. I don't know anyone with a digital video camera ours is ancient.

The hardest part of this is separating these two pieces (green line). The top part is like a dense mesh type material that can't support itself so twisting risks damaging it. What me and my friend did was i held the mesh end and he pulled on the upper pipe. rotating and twisting it took us at least 20 mins to get it off. If you find a better way post it for others.

Warm up for a couple of minutes with a heat gun on medium heat, pulls off quite easily then
