Hey guys, finally got my powdercoated pipes and bracket from PG today, so now I have everything I need to do the install tommorow. In looking everything over I noticed the bracket holes don't match with mounting points on the intercooler core. I'm assuming thats not right? but maybe I'm wrong because I have 2 baggies full of all kinds of washers, bolts, and things I don't even know what they are. I'm assuming they're supposed to be used for mounting it, but there's no directions, so I'm at a loss. I know the bracket isn't really necessary but I'd still like to use it. Anyone with experience, i'd appreciate it.

EDIT: Well I couldn't wait til tommorow, so I figured I would take everything off tonight that way tommorow I can do the fun stuff. Anyway, I had no luck with my bracket, tried bending it several different ways and just seemed like more of a hassle than it was worth so I'm going to go ahead without it. I believe I read somewhere that the kit was originally designed without the bracket.

haha I drove mine without the bracket for quite a few months, and the core never moved. Believe it or not, it's a little easier to fit the bumper back on if you don't use the bracket. Good luck!
