Question Just installed a non-tune Vararam... Suggestions needed...

Hey all,

I just installed my no tune Vararam. Of course the usual, the screws for the MAF didn't fit right, so I had to run to the hardware store, etc.

My only concern at this point is the radiator. The screws that supposedly make a rigid mount for the radiator with the original brackets mounted backwards do nothing. I have seen a few other ideas on the forum, but I am wondering what most with this intake do to secure the radiator properly at its new angle.

I appreciate the suggestions in advance!

Jason

there are a couple threads out there where people fabbed their own brackets. the whole leaning the radiator thing wih flimsy brackets and poor fitment is why i dont have a vararam.

Sorry. I just sold the Vararam yesterday and shipped it out. I think they were 8 or 10. You could always buy an assortment and just return the unused.

Good luck,

Jason
