Hey, I was wondering how many mounts does a FMIC usually have? I screwed up 1 outta 3 of my intercooler mounting. Im thinking of chopping off the bad mount in the meantime and fix it after my car is running again, and when I have access to the TIG welder again

it depends, how well is it on there? I have two screws holding mine into my bumper support.

Modified bumper support to fit intercooler, than lines it up and drilled 2 holes through it and used bolts goin through it like so.

You are fine, the pipes will keep ti from going back and forth and the two mounts on top will hold it in place.

Well, I am using one of the hood latch bolts with about an 3/32 piece of alluminum with a grommet. The bottom I used 3/32 also, but the holes arent matching up very well.

I might jsut redo it. I was stupid and welded on the tabs first in the general area. I was stupid and should have drilled the holes first and then figured where the tabs go on the intercooler. I was probably hungover when I did that. I should get to work griding down my welds. I'm still learning
