It also has the mounting points for the factory intercooler. When choosing an upgrade intercooler for your FG ask the vendor if all of the factory mounting points are retained. If any of them have to be removed (cut off) then you will not be able to re-install the factory intercooler down the track...this can be a big problem if you want to revert the car back to stock.The pic below shows the mounting points Im speaking of...the PW does not require removal of these points...There are some very weird and not so wonderful intercooler designs out there for the FG...choose carefully.Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir20B Member 21 Member For: 14y 5m 2d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 02/07/10 10:28 AM Share Posted 02/07/10 10:28 AM (edited) Many coolers offered for the FG Require complete removal (completely cut out) of the upper link of the rad support panel (between the upper intercooler mount points)It too isnt something that would be considered as reversible. I would think its not something many insurers would be in favour of either... Edited 02/07/10 10:39 AM by Sir20B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
