FMIC DIY or kit

[rjpwalker]

actualy looking at your pics its as easy as using this ebay cooler which is £125

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TwinPass-...arParts_SM&hash=item3372ac7fb9#ht_1181wt_1186

and a Universal cooler kit from Toyosports for £74.99

http://www.toyosports.co.uk/25-turbo-intercooler-pipe-piping-kit-64mm-silicone-blue-7499-613-p.asp

Total of £199.99

Yea that's the stuff I used pretty much. I didn't pay that much for the cooler. But yes it works out more than a single pass kit. Also you need to be able to weld on a map sensor flange to one of the pipes

My Wellcooler is semi fitted!

Not bad for a £200 cooler, that's Inc pipe work.

Wow, looks very nice!

Would this "same side" twinpass intercooler fit? www.ebay.nl/itm/350571998891 . Or is it too big?

[edit]
Found another one for lower price (95 quid ex postage). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390458034331

 

[rjpwalker]

the cheaper one would be fine apart from its got 3" ports instead of 2.5" so you would need reducers to fit it to the original pipe work.

Exactly, but the size isnt a issue?

So how much did you pay for the cooler and where from

Says it fits when i asked

I looked at that size cooler and tbh when I measured up I think you would have to cut away to much of the crash bar. The size I have only meant slight bumper mods, it cdmfrom a guy called intercooler king on eBay and was cosmetically damaged on one side so was 50 quid cheaper.

Thats a bad idea then, will be going for your size when it's my time Thanks for the valuable info!

I installed Ibizas SeatSport to LC but have to say that DIY custom pipes need lots of time and patience. Check my readers ride topic.

Oh and if you wonder why the pipes are as they are. Hot side on top and the cold on the bottom. It means that the hot air doesn't soak through the whole cooler so much when going slower.

Lodey were you able to have fully functioning fogs with that set up as I'm thinking of going down the same route as you but I want to keep my fogs

 

[Lodey23]

Na drivers fog had to go. The brackets right in the way of the pipe work. Also I doubt you would fit it the way I have on a small bumper Leon. Although I may be wrong

I have Fog lights with FMIC but I have CupraR front bumper. But same kind set up in TopSport (=Cupra) works also and you don't have to remove fog lights.
