If no one answers you guys may want to check with GSXTCY (nick) as he has that core and installed it himself.

I have installed the kit with no probelms. Unfortunately I do not remember the rubber bushings and I do not have my car to take a look and see. The bracket gets mounted to the the cross member. SO looking up you would see the bracket first and then the cross member. As for the bushings I will have to check tomorrow night when I have my car. I hope you can figure it out before then. Good luck!

The bottom of the IC has a sheet metal bracket. Insert this between the crossmember and the lower radiator support and leave the bushing in their holes where they were. Then align the top brackets to the upper radiator support and use some 5/8" short bolts/washers/nuts to secure that. You will more than likely need to cut off some of the upper supports to get the hood closed as well. You can also trim the passenger side fan if you don't want to use the fan they sent. I don't think there is any way to get the bumper back on with this IC--I left mine off. I hope you already figured out how to connect to your turbo--that is the hardest part of the install. I see you are in MA--if you need a hand---email me off list.
