claire they are both the same size intercooler, what you need is something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-SLIM-Inte...arParts_SM&hash=item5195215494#ht_2506wt_1139 same pipe size , same width just taller

cheers chris, so i can just keep the pipe work i have and fit the intercooler?

 

[chris_200120vt]

yes long as the outlets on the intercooler are 57mm 2.25" 2 1/4 " will fit straight on no problem

 

[clairehall]

yeah they are. That ic should look better than the one i have, even tho its only been on the car a few months

 

[chris_200120vt]

i may get a bigger one once the car comes back from jakes next month, just waiting for the rad brackets tha alex @ backdraft has made so the intercooler sits flush with the bumper

Are you having issues with your current setup or is it just purely you want a bigger core?

Imo if your getting the bigger one its worth getting a pipework kit and a map tube and completely removing all the standard crappy pipes and have 63mm all the way through

They seem very restrictive
