im still finding my pipes rubbing and catching on things 
i know you might hate me for saying this but would it have been easier to use a twin pass intercooler ?

Get yourself a trolley jack - it will be the best £20 or £30 you'll ever spend
Hope you get this sorted soon buddy!

What a b***h that was to get it all put in! Fog light was in the way, then the bumper grill! Lol
Yeh, got it all back together, had to force the bumper on because it was a squeeze and a half. Too it out for a test run and was ok, gave it some more boost and there was a loud WWWEEEEEEEE. boost leakage so it's got to come off again and check all the fittings and use more tape... Lol.
Pics later.
Oh yeah... It took me 12 b@####d hours to do it! Most of which was trying to get the intercooler back enough and cutting the bumper and undertray that the bumper screws onto!
Grrrrr lol

here we go... the pics. lol
had the bumper off in minutes because i didn't put it back on properly... lol
start pulling the stock IC out.
IC out. (again...)
then a grey cloud came along and started spitting abit so quick as a flash, i put the zeebo up.
i know it looks shoddy, i put the cover on updide down. 
FMIC mounted.
and it all went pear shaped for here on in.
offered the bumper up and it didn't line up.
started cutting the bumper up with my sonic-crafter (kind of like a grinder)
then started putting the pipework together. i used a big pair of grips to put a flare on the ends of the pipes.
then wrapped them in PTFE/white tape.
then put them together.
and fitted them.
after that. is when i started losing hours of the day (and years off my life... lol). the bumper refused to go on so i cut more off the bumper, more off the brackets, adding and removing washers onto the bolt that holds the IC onto the bracket.
lots of plastic cuttings from the bumper and under tray (thats not even half of it!)
and cutting me lol. lucky i wasnt using a grinder!
got p**sed off and me and my dad forced the bumper on and put it all back together. the IC and pipes are pushing the grill out abit and it looks w**k. lol
and that's that! there's a bit of a hissing squeal when on full boost but holding constant boost and giving it some good spikes, it didn't pop off, and it still goes well so no performance lost (TBH, i think it's quicker. but that might just be me... lol).
if i've got time next weekend, i'll take it to bits again and try turning it upside down and if it means cutting a chunk out of the slam bar, then so be it! lol
