I've been having trouble with my truck almost since I got it september.Bought it with 13,053 miles and since october it's been running like crap.After eliminating everyother possible problem I removed the boost controller and it runs great.Since boost is no longer an issue it seems that every time I jump on it since the repair it blows the atr intercooler off the throttle body.The mounting braces for the intercooler that go to the manifold are not there,since I didn't buy the parts I don't know where to get replacement braces.
Is this something I can get from the manufacturer????
Or, am I better off making my own????
I work for a dealer in van nuys,ca and the parts guys laugh when I need parts,so something like this I have no idea.Thanks for any help,or advise.

get/make some brackets. they are pretty straight forward pieces. See if you can borrow a local owner's brackets and make copies.

I may have an extra bracket set laying around. I'll check the inventory later today and let you know.

I'm not too far away, and will be doing some work on my truck shortly so it'll be down a lil while... if ya need to borrow my brackets to get some fabbed up let me know...

you could also try PMing "Captain Morgan", he does some fab work, and might be able to make some for ya. He made some lower IC brackets for me, which came out great.

You can also replace the 4" clamps at the IC-TB hose with T-Bolt clamps.
they will grip like a Mofo.

But yeah you need to find the middle IC brace and mod it a bit for the ATR.
There should also be a 90* bracket to hold it near the A/C.

If your motor mouts are weak that ATR cooler will punch a hole in the heater housing.
The motor torques over adn thud, hits plastic/fiberglass, the softest part usually loses.
