Almost done putting in the motor.
just got a couple of questions, and if anyone has pics it would help.

# 1 intercooler bracket pics

Anyone have pics of the brackets when mounting the 4inch thick intercooler, aka ebay special?

# 2 tps issue

when installing my mkiv manifold, i have the tps directly infront of the valve cover line that goes to the block (driver side port by the oil cap). Now, can i block it off and put a breather on the block?

# 3 isc coolant line route? does it matter?

does it matter which way i put the coolant lines in the isc? I have the line running from the water line around the block into the isc line on the back of the isc, then out (from the front port of the isc) back into the lower runners. (bypassed the tb).

# 4 Oil Cooler line, which way?

when running the external oil cooler, my lines are as follows: from the block adapter (out) to the oil filter adatper (in), then out to the oil cooler (in) from the oil cooler (out) back to the block (in).
Also, is -8 lines good to use?


anyhelp is appreaciated.
i wanna get this beast on the road.
