DONT GO TURBOREVS!!!!!!  They are just down the road from me, bought a manifold from them, would have been good if id had an Audi TT 225 but they listed as a golf, there ali is s**t.  Had to fight to get my money back too,     Not got a clue what they are ding, they sell lambo doors for £250, thats the sort of quality we are talking about!!!

Got that off my chest lol      :grin:

you could just get a different intercooler and keep your old pipe work(the ebay one)
may require abit of custom work for brackets etc, but theres no need to buy a whole new kit if you already have one 

Well i did just that and the new intercooler turned up today. Its huge which is perfect as the gt will pull some serious air. Injectors are coming from backdraft and bits and pieces turning up all over


Its like christmas  :grin:

I fitted a forge fmic and had to cut my front genuine R32 bumper to clear boost hoses so forge ones are not straight fit

Forge ones may fit better, but looking at the design I can't see them flowing very well atall  :lipsrsealed:

They seem to flow alright and decent size pipework, would probably go for a wellycooler if doing again now that have an R32 front but more than happy with the forge.
