Well, I spent the last 2 weeks slowly and methodically installing the JDL turbo kit, Mishimoto low profile fans and Velox AOS. The JDL kit itself went pretty smooth. Nearly everything bolted up perfectly, though the oil pan gasket making process has me super nervous. Had to cut about 1/3 inch off the top of the intercooler support bracket, but no biggie, it might have even been fine without cutting. The AOS system though, guessing there's an extra vacuum line or something on the automatics because getting to the rear PCV without removing the intake manifold was an absolute nightmare. Not near as easy as the install video on their website for it. Also, sad to find out that the cam block plate and auto-drain connection won't work on an automatic. Guess I don't get that luxury.
Last thing to install is the Mishimoto oil cooler, it's obviously not going to mount as Mishimoto intended because I have an intercooler there now, BUT I was wondering if there was any harm in mounting it vertically? Worried about space for air to hit it through the bumper. Thoughts, opinions, concerns? See pics. Also, don't hate on my dirty engine bay, I'll be cleaning it up when it's running again.
