Ecode headlamps in mk3 jetta with Intercooler.

Anyone try this with factory side-mount Intercooler? Looks like top boost tube would be in the way.


97 IDI Jetta, O2A CTN,0.658 5th, 1.6 boost pin, TDI IC, 2.0 brakes, some tuning.

I've actually had my ecodes installed for quite a while now... The REAL issue is I have an Intercooler from 98 Jetta TDI, my car is 97 AAZ TD (Canadian) non-IC'ed mechanical diesel. I was toying with the idea of using this IC on my ride. Looks like top tube needs to go right where the drivers side Ecode protrudes. Or am I wrong?

im sure it all fits.. european TDIs had Ecode lights, and still had intercoolers as well...
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
