• Does anyone have good pics of their AAZ intercooler setup. I'm looking for a nice clean setup to model mine after.

• hey i used an old saab cooler and put it where the windshield washer fluid bottle was and am going to move the battery to the trunk.  I am going to try and figure out how to get more air to it without a FMIC.  They are just really expensive and I didn't want to cut up anything.

• to which car are you looking to install the saab intercooler?
  
  why not fit a vw intercooler?
  
  i currently have one from a mk3 tdi wing mount fitted but am looking at installing a sharan one into the front bumper for better air flow. just moved house 6 weeks ago so spending my time doing that up.

• my motor has a standard vw intercooler with boost upped to 1.2bar/17.4psi if that helps.

• This isn't an AAZ but maybe it is helpful.  It's a 1.6 with ALH manifolds.
  
  The IC mounts in front of the radiator. Both IC and tubing were ordered from CXRacing on ebay.  Worked out nicely but I would have perferred 2.25" rather than 2.5" pipes.
