Moses ( Moise I think ) from France has a good post on a
MKII intercooler install here in the french section.
Uses a Renaud core, mighty fine !
I'll try and post it up later.

BAHAHA!
my son would love your car
I finally finished my beefy 1.6!
my car has been off the road for the last 4 months (started engine swap after head cracked)
Here's a little info
1.6 TD
rebuilt 30k ago
fresh K14 turbo professionally rebuilt running 18 lbs of boost
AAZ metal head gasket
ABA windage tray
G60 valve cover stud and gasket conversion
tweaked pump
210mm GTI clutch
90 amp alternator
2.25" open TT down pipe
2.5" intercooler piping
28" x 6" x 2.5" front mount intercooler
7N transmission
I'm waiting on a short shifter for the TT downpipe (second hand pipe didn't come with one), but it's pretty good to go otherwise
pics from last summer of the car itself (has rear spacers and front spoiler now)

How noisy is it with the air filter up there?
Great looking car
X2 on both!
That seems like a nice place for an airfilter, on non ac mk1s atleast I don't even use the blower fan most of the time because the pressure in the cowl area pushes air through the vents. I really would like to know how bad the intake noise is though.
