Nope. Your Current k03. Like I have. Be interesting if it changes the boost characteristics and sustains boost

As I've been up since 6:15 with the kids I thought I'd post a few photos. I've been reading about FMIC set ups and have decided to go with the Toyosports type B large IC. Known as the Wellycooer due to it's origins in the custom FMIC thread on ASN. I pored a link to ASN earlier in my RR. 
It's a big core 600/300/76mm here it is sat in front of our dishwasher

 A link to where you can buy it. I paid £96 delivered. 
http://www.toyosports.co.uk/intercooler-70-c.asp

On to the pipe work. I'm using 45 degree 76/63 mm silicone reducers either side from core. 

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=290362072607&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=02221114485

Then 90 deg 63mm alloy beaded joiners (or I would be if I hadn't been sent stainless ones!!!)

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=270865713881&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=83301232105

Then 90 deg 63 mm silicone hose which then joins up     to the plastic map pipe on the passenger side. 

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=160786524988&index=15&nav=SEARCH&nid=14320667086

To join up with the top turbo hose from the charge pipe you'll need a 63 mm short alloy joiner. 

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=160516793157&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=62645597597

That's all the parts you'll need other that jubilee clips. I've avoided the T bar type clips as a few people have recommended not using them.  As there easy to over tighten and cause boost leaks by bending the alloy joiners.  But each to there own. Thanks to Dad I didn't  have to buy jubilee clips.

As I still have the original top turbo hoses. I've divided to replace the one from the charge pipe with a 45 deg 63 mm alloy joiner and a 45 deg 63mm silicone hose

You can buy these also from Mr Silicon. 

The pipe work


The driver side pipe work. 


The passenger side pipe work. 




So that's the pipe work. Next was trimming the body work to get the core to fit as far back as possible....

Next up was getting the core to fit and making beakers. Thanks to Dad doing this part. 

A before photo


We spent a bit of time looking things over to decide ow to get the core to fit as far back as possible. We winter to do this to reduce the amount that needs to be trimmed from the bumper bar, bumper and hopefully allow re fitting of the fog lights. 

Marked up ready for cutting


After cutting. My Dad used a thin wheel in the grinder. 


The top of the core fitted nice and close the the air con vad. But the bottom could get closer. So a little more trimming was needed. 
All marked up. 


Then painted the bear metal


It fits nice and close now. About as far back as the core could go. 


Next up was making so beakers for the bottom of the core. Dad used 6 mm aluminium bar. 








Then it was the top brackets.
