I had some time to fabricate an intercooler mount, being that I am just going with the single turbo for now I grabbed something simple, but still a decent size.
Drew a base plate to mount to the existing front clip.
Made a bracket to hold the intercooler
Tacked it up, then installed the intercooler after fully welding it
Painted and installed.
Intercooler in place.
I noticed it was slightly cocked when I installed it, looks like it warped a bit when I was welding it up. Fortunately I can hog out the mounting holes a bit and rotate it to be straight. I will definitely be doing that before the final install.
