Title: FAO those who have fitted FMIC
Post by: mar_k on 04 December 2013, 19:50: I'm working on a Welly cooler install on a friends mk4 1.8t but I need some help from those who have fitted one.

What happens to DV hose and N75 hose that's removed from the metal charge pipe?

How do you plump them into the new pipe work? Is the a special pipe we need to get?

I've not done one on a k03 based car. Don't have the same problem on k04 cars as we retain the metal charge pipe.

Any help is appreciated.

Post by: Nino on 04 December 2013, 22:10: You kind of need some special kind of pipe I just got mine from some that was breaking there golf I popped up to get a few bits and saw the pipe and asked if it was for sale to which he replied no its going with the Fmic as a full sale but then I showed him £30 and he Couldn't say no :)

if your having a pipe made why not just have it made so there is no joins in it :smiley:

Title: Re: FAO those who have fitted FMIC
Post by: Nino on 13 December 2013, 10:24: Ive decided after speaking with prospeed that rather than use the pipe I have I dont want any joins so for £220 prospeed will fit my FMIC, trim my bumper and fabricate my piping so there will be in total only 4 joins.

1: Coming off the turbo.
2: Attaching to the pipe off the TB.
3: Cold side of intercooler.
4: Hot side of intercooler.

So if anyone is interested, that pipe I have is now for sale :)
