Title: Ecode headlamps in mk3 jetta with Intercooler.
Post by: mzak88 on May 13, 2013, 05:34:03 pm

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

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?
