FMIC 600x300x76MM

[chipmunk82]

At the moment I have a forge FMIC running 263bhp on a hybrid setup. I'm not overly bothered about numbers but I would like it running at a better flow rate so looking at other intercoolers and the 600x300x76MM one seems good for the money.
The idea is to try and move the rad back (brackets??) so I keep aircon and limit the amount of bumper trimming needed and keep the centre bar in place too.
Also now want to get a k04 charge pipe and route the pipework down the wing so will look at smaller washer bottles too.
I don't know if there are cheaper charge pipe options but I want to keep the dump valve there so need the outlets and the k04 pipe looks a simple swap for that.
Any advice from people who have got this intercooler and moved the rad back?
Will this kit (plus a k04 charge pipe) be everything I need? Thanks

Ive moved my rad back to fit the same cooler. Just a piece of oblong steel ive used. Pics are in my thread.

I read your thread mate really nice, the pics you mean on page 23 I can see intercooler brackets but can't make out the rad bracket - probably just being blind lol

Would it be easy enough to keep the aircon with the rad back and how much bumper trimming did you need to do?

Found it was the intercooler pipes fouled the foglights and intercooler scoops rather than the centre of the bumper

Mate of mine has moved rad back, kept aircon & fog's

Thats good, has he got any pics on here?
The kit on ebay has 3" and I wondered if it would be too big, I was thinking to go with 2.5"?

Also looking at a slightly smaller intercooler (550x225x64) still rated up to 450bhp so should be ideal for hybrid power but I'm not really sure what difference would this make?

Theres a darker mesh you can buy from halfords which looks good in front of the intercooler

I have gone for 2.5" pipe work, no too sure if the smaller cooler would be suitable..
