[Mk2] [Turbo] ebay intercoolers, fitting difficulty? Pics?

Post by DB1 »

hi guys n gals, ive just received an intercooler off of ebay, with a pipe kit. i've offered it up but cant see how the pipes will go (or any of the IC mount points).
has any body fitted one of these? if so does anybody have pics?
ive tried google-ing in images to no avail, nothing shows on the search either ](*,)

removed the shroud for original IC, it now ligns up with fixing points and pipes look a bit easier to squeeze in...

The intercoolers are good quality. Same as what the US vendors include into their kits. They are a direct copy of the Greddy, even down to the mounting tabs so the fitment is pretty good.

However, the piping kits are absolutely rubbish. Put them in the bin.

Grab a shroud, block off plate and Spal fan from a vendor for the I/C.

fitting the new intercooler is quite easy.
getting the old one out isnt so.

both times ive found it easier to grind off the outlet pipe and it pops right out. the old cooler is worth pennies, so just gets thrown away anyway.
