• Hi again guys,
  
   i just picked up a FMIC from a 2.0 Audi S3, and im struggling to work out how and where to mount it to the mk2, so if you run a FMIC, would you post up some pics and a brief description of how you managed it please?
  
   The more pics the better 
  
    Cheers,
               Matt

• are those coolers sitting up side down? or is that how they mount? cause i cant see that being very easy to plumb or mount with the in/out at the bottom. there most likely gonna have to be at the top so it clears the engine easier.

• its exactly the same size as my rad, so the inlet and outlet are going to cause me some problems i think

• yea, its gonna be a problem if the in/out dont fit around your radiator..

• it wouldn't be worth all the grief. I would find a cheap IC from ebay. I have bought two from i think it was CRX racing...
  anyways they are under $100. Loads of different dimensions to choose from. Delta fin intercoolers. helicoiled mounts on the top and bottom. all aluminum. really easy to do on my mk2.
  
  
  sorry no the plubing kit i got from crx racing. the intercooler is from this seller.
