intercooler piping ?

-Hey guys I am getting an evo III intercooler along with its lower piping and I was wondering if you guys can provide screen shots of how your routed your piping. I think aznflip did it on his car with his custom 16G turbo setup.
I already searched rrm turbo install and I saw how they routed their piping. I just want to see other options.
-I also want to see mounting points for the intercooler. I heard it was a direct bolt on if you take out the rollers?
-One more question, should I be getting the upper piping also?
I would appreciate pics. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I did use the whole Evo 8 i/c piping. You have to some twisting on the upper pipe but besides that, it's basically bolts on.

Here is a pic when i was intalling the lower pipe.

I guess I need to shop for the upper piping also. Do you guys have any pics where the on the path of the pipes. I just like to double check everything. Plus, I'm more of a visual man.

The lower pipe will fit (ride side), but the rest, it won't fit.

AznFlip do you have a pic looking down into your engine bay. The reason why I am asking is because I have the non intercooled RRM kit and I want to see if the piping will match my current setup.
I'll check your thread again because I only looked at the pic you posted in detail.

Whatever can't be fit/coupled just get fabricated. Shouldn't be hard or expensive.

So the best cost effective way is just to buy the upper piping also and then custom fab it.
I was originally going to just get the lower piping and finish the rest off. But it think it am going to with the evo upper piping also.

You'll have to buy RRM's upper pipe for auto if you don't want to go for custom and coolant reservoir..

So for the EVO 8 IC to fit you have to remove the front bumper support?

Does it cause any bumper fitment issues?
