    Hey guys,

    Noticed a couple of things went poof from the engine bay, think i got the part numbers from realoem but there is one thing i couldn't quite figure out.

    The bolts that go in the holes i have circled in the top part of the picture are gone and the mount for the right most hole a #4 is half gone. So i know i need a 4,5, and 6. The part i can't seem to figure out is what i have circled on the intercooler. it looks like that is missing too so even when i get the new bolt it won't have anything to thread into as it looks like the mount #3 is just a pass through. I can't seem to find just that piece with my searching. anyone know if it is possible to get a new one of those or if i would need a whole intercooler?

    I do believe that "nut" in there is called a Coupling Nut

    In the back of my mind i was trying to use this justify getting a gp intercooler (in the case of needing to get another whole one) but the bank account thanks you haha

    If you can't find the replacement mounting pieces try a nutcert or speed nut. Usually nutcerts need to be pressed in, you could do it with a wide punch and hammer. I've also seen some that squeeze in like a rivet, but those might be too small.
