Is it the mounting points not lining up or is it getting into the position? I hade to take off my boost pipes to fit mine.

Bit of metal to fit between the two mounting faces, bolted to each hole.
Are the brackets the right width to fit the old intercooler mounts? If so, it looks almost like the brackets have been welded to the wrong side of the rad?!
