DIY intercooler... Done!

So I just finished my 6.0 intercooler install! really wasnt that bad or hard... the only damage done was I had to buy a new welder and I also decided my pinky was about 1/8" too long.... all thats left is move the map sensor pick up to the inlet side, weld a few brackets on and to paint the pipes!

Being broken into sucks. That feeling of being completely defeated and violated. It happened to me when I was moving into a house the went with my play station and a bunch of cash. At the end of the day it really didn't matter but it sucks anyway.

When I was 16 working in a restaurant slicing bacon I also decided that my pinki was 1/8" to long also. Someone got a little extra with their bacon and eggs, LOL

Tyler, I recommend to change that old orange intake boot, your turbo can be dusted, I recommend for this one:

If those are oem ic boots make sure you swap the blue one for the hot side and black to the cool side if not the black one is not going last
