Intercooler from mk5 vw TDI in my MK1?
« on: November 18, 2013, 05:34:41 pm »
Hey folks,

just wondering if anyone has tried to put a intercooler from mk5 vw TDI  into their mk1 with a 1.6td

 Found one for a super cheap price, but haven't been able to find the actual dimensions

thanks

Sidemount?

I was gifted a FMIC from a stock evo8, without the a/c condenser it kinda fits! going to a slim mount fan and spacing the radiator back a bit.

The tubes will need to be cutoff, clocked and rewelded to fit nice. Tanks look to be fine.


Just one more reason to buy a TIG welder!

Thanks for the help.

Although here is where it gets pretty cheap and hillbilly -lol

I have an extra mk1 hood - kind of rough - I was thinking about cutting>installing hood scoop and installing a smaller inter cooler directly above the turbo. ( from a mazda) Sort of like a mk1 gtd euro.

I guess the benefits would be - a short run for piping, I have all the parts less the scoop.

Downside - might look like ***e.

Might be a fun weekend beverage related activity. I guess it would be better then no inter cooler and I have most of the parts - less the scoop - but have access to a bender.

Any direction or help would be appreciated .
