Title: Mk2 Golf Intercooler??? Which one?
Post by: Rixy on 26 September 2012, 20:56: Hi there,im currently building a mk2 golf project car, and need to know what intercooler is a good shout to use?? Im using a standard driver rad and fan cowl, so one that'll fit infront of this would be ideal, Also, i will be running small bumpers and 4 light grille if poss, though im not adverse to running a 2 light grille if i need to for FMIC clearance??

Whats the options, and can i see pics please peeps :-)

A generic ebay universal one will be your best bet and just do whatever is required to fm it, im running a merc sprinter intercooler on my 16vt and there is loads of room behind there.
