Injen Charge Pipes installed on 2.7 with Injen CAI

Do you have any images showing where you drilled the holes?

Thanks

This is all I have. I did not take a photo before installation.

Are they parallel with the existing holes or did the mounting height change with these new holes?

Thanks man

The top hole is for the ground and oval shaped. I went straight over from that hole and measured for the bottom hole. I installed the ground wire in its original hole, not in the bracket.

Did relocating the holes effect the support beams bolting up?

I did have to do some minor adjustments, but no other modifications. I did not use the base angle support bracket, but it is very solid even without it.

Word to the wise.
I have had my Injen charge pipes on now about 8 months and I recently added the CVfabrication Intercooler. I don't know how in the love of Sam I forgot to tighten down one of my couplers and I got on it this morning to pass a truck and as soon as it dropped down and spooled ... KABOOM! The coupler that I didn't torque down gave lose. I think I may have brown stained my scrubs. It lost power and I thought for sure I shot a rod out the side of the motor. Pulled in a parking lot started looking under it...no visible damage..started looking for visible signs of turbo damage wiggling pipes... nothing. Hopped back in drove it and noticed right away only 2 psi max boost. But drove fine and no CEL's got to work popped the hood again and started wiggling and noticed the hot side going into the intercooler completely off...lol
Popped that som bitch completely off the pipe. So I went inside grabbed some 1000 grit sand rough the pipe up and hit it with 99% IPA and reattached and torqued it so hard my left nut twitched all day at work.
But just a reminder to retorq your charger pipes after they have been on a while.

@Tyistick : I did this,(tighten my clamps) because I had spoke to a guy that is big into turbos and he told me due to the type of clamps I had, to go back and tighten them all down again.

I may get the other style clamps, but for now everything is holding up.

This scared the piss out of me...I thought for sure I jacked my motor up.

I just finished installing my pipes. I have the Whipple stage one kit which includes their intercooler. Everything seemed to fit fine. On my quick test drive turbo lag seems very minimal.

Grab the Injen CAI - you’ll love it.

Is that transfer case control module relocation bracket integrated into the compressor mount or is it separate? I am in the processing of making a relocation bracket for the TCCM so i can fab up a special intake.

I have everything installed and man, it was like cramming 57 midgets in a ‘57 Chevy. Very tight in there. But the pipes and CAI really woke up the 2.7L, even with the JB4 Burger tune off. 3 inch cat-back system helps too.

One practical dilemma is removing the air filter in the future to check and clean. Injen (gave such great support by the way) says remove the Y-pipe, but looks to me like removing the CAI box would be easier. What does anyone who’s done the install think?
