I know they are thin, but how does that fit? Did you have to move your rad back? As my rad its 10mm if that from the turbo...

Yeh its all pretty tight like, the radiator is moved forward and then over to the drivers side so it sits right in between each outlet on the cooler. The intercooler is tight to the bumper bar with the oil cooler sitting in where ive cut the holes, the radiator is as tight forward to the cooler as I can get it and so i don't think I even have 10mm between the radiator and the turbo. Its running solid mounts though so ive minimal movement and no signs of any contact as of yet.

Very impressed it all fits. And the coolers in the front too? Christ.

I had to trim the bottom section of the bumper bar to fit it in, you can just make out the oil cooler through the holes in that picture but yeh its all crambed in there.
