Post by: jake on 25 January 2009, 19:44: do you know if he did custom piping on it or was it an itercooler kit?

Post by: bobbarley on 25 January 2009, 19:46: He got all of it as a kit I believe, from eBay.

Post by: Pete H on 25 January 2009, 21:23: was thinking about different coolers, does anybody know if it's possible to fit an RS4 one on a mk4 or something similar, just deleting the fact that you need to cut your bumper to bits, that's assuming one RS4 cooler is larger than a stock gti turbo one, as i know they have two.
