He won't need to drop the bumper for a flex fuel setup. Cupckakes...remove that hood latch support. It is fine without it. The couple will fit better then. Also, spray

Cupckakes...remove that hood latch support. It is fine without it. The couple will fit better then.

Also, spray Windex in every coupler before you put them on. They will slide into place a thousand times easier.

Do not tighten any clamps at all until all the couplers are where they should be or you might create a fitment issue.

Hi, I certainly know he doesn't need to drop it for FF setup but I can take the chance to ask him for the installation of EBC-associated setup on the intake inside the bumper, which I wanna give it a shot in next mods. He has to drop the bumper under the circumstances. Otherwise I have no reason to ask him to remove the bumper from my car, needlessly to say I can have the chance to measure it on my own. Please understand.

Totally didnt think of using any type of lubrication.
Going to try that
And also take off the black support bar behind the coupler on the top left of the intercooler (passenger side) so the coupler wont be so extremely tight as it is now.

Thanks! Also PMd you regarding some part numbers if you wouldnt mind sharing that ):
I had to replace my air filter since it was caked with dirt from the accident.

Now a few other parts too

Do you need the part # of the filter? If so, it's K&N #RX-4130-1

Nooo haha, to be ironic that is the part number I needed was for the top left coupler connecting the IC and the Y pipe that goes through the 3 inch hole we made in the support bracket.

Here are some photos of what the car looks like now.

We managed to put the BPV behind the bracket of the IC, and route the hose to the BPV in a nice way as well, yay!

Check them out!

To be honest, there is a kink in one of the coolant lines right under the throttle bodies, and I have no idea how to fix that...
I will leave that for my mechanic who will come on Monday to triple check everything before we pour all the fluids in and start it up.

He is also the same person that worked on my car and put everything together for my build in the thread, so I completely trust him.

As you can see I did remove the black support bar that was kinking the coupler connecting the upper left intercooler opening to the Y pipe so it looks A LOT better now.

I also went to the store to buy a 2.5" to 3" coupler (the blue one on the bottom right of the IC) because the last coupler that was used on there (the one that came with the a2a kit) was scraped and damaged, so it was definitely a goner.
We managed to clamp it down enough so there's nothing escaping, it looks fine and feels extremely tight to me so it's all good now.

The car should be up and running by Monday!
