Intercooler Help - Pics Included

[gtimac]

Hi all

I have an AGU and am about to buy a FMIC from a very cool member of this site lol.

Any ideas if this is the correct pipework for a FMIC for my AGU???

Here are some pics









Any help really appreciated, need to figure out if this will fit my AGU lol

Cheers

Plumb it however you like, some people follow the initial route and then have a long pipe which extends to the passengers side as an inlet, like a THS kit.

Toyosport kits go up from the turbo, over the engine cover somwhat to avoid gear linkage and drop into the drivers side for the intercooler inlet.

Do it however you see fit

Cheers mate.

Im now worried about the n75 after reading up on the fitting of the cooler lol.

Wondering if there is a way of leaving it in situ or plumbing it in....

Just had a quick look in the dark and it looks like my N75 inserts into the TIP.  Does this mean that I dont need to plumb it into the intercooler pipes as Im not replacing the TIP?

At the moment you should have two pipes coming from your standard intercooler.
1 I think is the N75 and the 2nd is the recirc valve. Both of which are plumbed into the TIP.

I have a fmic and ill post a pic for you soon mate.
I had to buy a 8mm take off which connected to my silicone tubing (As my fmic pipework only had 1 take take off which was for the recirc valve) Its all a doddle aslong as you have common sence and time

Thanks mate.  I havent got the kit yet - will arrive Wednesday but Im trying to route the pipework going off the pic.  Apparently there are no "take off's" in any of the pipework which Im a bit convcerned about.

Also, the long piece of silicone - cant figure out where that goes.  Dont know if this is the kit that runs like this:

Or if the pipework "doubles back" on itself to where the sidemount was.

Has it been fitted to a car before?

Im not sure all the required pipes are there? 

[gtimac]

Apparently it has yeah and all the fittings are present.  I was thinking that it looked a bit light on metal piing until I saw the large silicone pipe on the right of the pic - Im assuming thats the part that goes up through the passenger side to the top of the engine.

[topher]

not the greatest pics so hard to tell, especially not knowing what the intended pipe route is.
One thing that will get you stuck straight away though is i can't see any where for your dv and n75 valves to take a boost feed from, unless you have to retain your original metal pipe and chop/rotate it?

[topher]

fook knows. get out there and start unbolting stuff. men with pride need no guide!
