Hi all,

I figured that since I couldn't find a post regarding the routing of the charge piping of the CTS Turbo FMIC, I'd post one here myself.
I would first like to say that anyone considering this FMIC kit, will need to notch your aluminum bumper support for the correct fitment of the intercooler. The notching is pretty large, and I went a little oversized on my cuts so that I could shift the intercooler around as needed. I will post a top down picture of the notched bumper support when I can get the car outside of the garage.

I notched a fair bit of the back of the front bumper as well, you can retain your fog light grills. You cannot however retain the adjustment screws for the foglights. With the headlight washers underneath the front bumper, mine did not work, and were cracked and dry rotted. You can secure the cover pieces (the rhombus style pieces) with washers and a shorter bolt. The rest of the system can be negated and the washer line can be capped off with a plug and a hose-clamp.
There is another notching point on the passenger side which is pictured below.

Here are some pictures of mine fitted up, critique how I did it if you would like! This is my first time doing this so I am open to suggestions. The car pulls hard, and scares the hell out of me, I love it.
