Going for pretty much the same spec as your golf actually. K04-001 waiting to be fitted :afro:

I know r tech have mapped a few eBay special turbos with some decent results but teu normally need "fixing" before fitting and no matter what anyone says they arnt going to be as reliable as genuine units......just my opinion :laugh:

Iv had mine off chris mate. Im cheap I cant justify paying top money for a new intercooler.
Specially when it does the same job :cool:
-

Complain. Atleast get your delivery costs back. Sounds like awful stocking arrangements if you ask me.

I will get the dimensions for you mate once iv recieved mine :cool:

Nice one, think sfs make custom silicone pipes so will get a price off them for the silicone pipe that runs in the crash bar as I can't find a 90 with long tails anywhere.......
-
Also when fitting do you uprate the charge pipe or the hose that goes to the pcr pipe? As surely this is a smaller bore than the ths pipe work!?
-
No I dont think you do uprate them mate.
Looking at the kit online you get the core, pipe from core to throttle body, pipe from core to pancake pipe replacement and the pancake replacement.
I would prob think you would need a custom pipe made up unless you could have a join inbetween using 2 peices of silicone instead?
-
Did think of doin this but didn't wanna risk havin a leak as it would be a nightmare.... But then could be the same said with the core connection as that would also be a problem to tighten?? (hidden in crash bar)
