I'm looking at getting one of these intercoolers
http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/mishimoto-universal-intercooler-small.html
Does anyone know where I can get pipework for it to fit straight on or will I have to buy a universal pipe kit of ebay and cut it to fit?
-
Its going to have to be custom really, toyosports on ebay do universal piping, but it goes over the top of the engine, all down to what you want really

I don't mind it going over the engine cause i'v put the battery in the boot and i'v remove the washer bottle so i'v got the room for it.

^^ added link, you need to spend alot of time trialling the piping from what I have heard getting it to fit right but would definatley be better than standard but not as good as a THS or Forge FMIC setup
-
I found these ones
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380458296243?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
They look a bit better than the toyo ones
-
yeah they do look better and have the swaged ends too which is good, as long as you dont mind the faffing you can save £400 easily compared to the other systems but people on here tend to run THS or Forge due to them being made for the car as opposed to universal and the quality of the IC is the main part piping is secondary
-
Forged intercoolers are not worth the money at all, the only reason why there so expensive is because of the name. the quailty of them is same as the mishimoto ones
-
nope your wrong the thing your paying for with forge and ths is the fitment
-
anyone running big power uses a forge or THS

make sure every join on your pipe work has a lip on the end of it like a ring of weld around the end of pipe! or trust me it will pop off every bloody two min like mine did before i got it changed

I'v got a pipe roller so I can make my own lips. My only problem is the DV port, how am I going to get it to fit

You could always go the Wellycooler route :smiley:. Have a look on Audisport it's a 600 x 300 76 FMIC which you can buy for £86.99 delivered from toyo sports and add your custom pipe work. It's been getting very good results on S3's and LCR's.
