Drivetrain Intercooler Moving Around?
Intercooler Moving Around?
I have a Helix intercooler and the only way it is mounted, I believe, is through the boost tubes right? I have the intercooler installed with an Alta Boost Tube. Since the boost tube is upgraded, the tube is not attached to the car like how it was on the muffler on the stock tube with the Torx bolt. I was under the car and I moved the alta tube back and forth and the intercooler was going along with it. Makes sense knowing that the only support is with the tubes. Did I do the install wrong? Just noticed this today. Lol
I noticed that you are running a solid torque arm which is causing lots of vibration. That could play a role in your problem. I'm running a helix with NM boost tubes and everything is nice and snug, no movement at all.

I must have installed it wrong then. I basically took my old IC off and put the helix one on. And if I go under the car and move the boost tubes, the IC goes along with it. Has lots of play. I wonder what I did wrong..
