CvFab Intercooler / FenFab HKS Charge Pipe Kit Installed

[Bran1093]

Hey Folks!

Received my pipe kit from CvFab on Friday so i was able to get these installed yesterday.
Hardest part of the install was the darn C clamp setting the Bov to the flange (snap ring pliers for the win)!

Looks like a fun time! I am waiting for the weather to break and stay warm before I tackle the Intercooler install!

Looks good. I am trying to find time this weekend to do mine. Question... did you replace the rivets that need to be drilled out with anything or did you leave it alone? How about the zip ties that need to be cut?

Yes, I drilled out the rivets and replaced them with the Zip ties that come with the IC. The ZIP ties are hefty size so I did have to take a bigger drill bit to make the hole a bit bigger in order for the Zip tie to go through.

Did you have any issues with the hotside charge pipe installation? Specifically, how did you remove the non-screw type clamp that secures the coupler to the passenger side turbo?
I'm in the midst of an install currently.

If your talking about the crimp style, you have to cut it. I replaced all my connections with T-Bolt clamps.

What did you use to cut yours? I'm needing ideas because, as you know, access is very limited?

Thank you

Got it off. It wasn't a crimped clamp. It was a normal worm gear/screw clamp positioned with the screw parallel to the firewall. Thank God for a willing Wife with smaller hands and arms than mine.

Just a heads up, if you reuse the clamp that secures the coupling to the drivers side turbo, you might have issues with it blowing off. Mine did several times until I could replace it with a T-Bolt clamp. It's a known issue.

Thank you for the warning. Fortunately, the CVFab kit comes with new couplers and t-bolt style clamps.
