2008 vs 2010 FMIC mount

I'm going to be picking up someone's AGP FMIC, UICP, LICP and intake setup this weekend. I read somewhere that the 2008 intercooler mount is different from the 2010+? Just exactly how different is it? Any idea where I can buy an adapter if it can't be mounted?

The lower mounting bracket is different, you can either drill a hole in the 2010 bracket like I did and use a self-tapping metal screw, or you can buy the 2008 bracket from AGP for I believe it's $25.

One thing to note also incase you didnt know already, that agp intake a 3 inch maf housing, you need to get it tuned right away or the car isn't going to run right. Or atleast get the maf scaled and just drive normally until you get tuned.

I tried calling AGP earlier to see if they could overnight me the bracket (I'm driving 200 miles to get the parts swapping my stock parts plus cash for his).. but no one picked up

Trade brackets with the guy you're swapping with. He'll lose a few pounds and you'll get the bracket you need

Yup, the 2010+ was just redesigned and lower in weight.
