Any way of retaining the existing charge pipe as I don't have a replacement

Cheers

Why not plumb from the pancake pipe then, solves a lot of hassle, just get a long tube from pancake and run it all the way to the passengers side inlet on the FMIC?

I think that may be how it was done. There is a very long piece of silicone tubing on the right of my picture. Would this be good enough?

So if I did it this way I dont need to run piping up and over the engine from the passenger side?

Can I remove the pancake and run the hose/piping straight from charge pipe to intercooler (passenger side)?

You can run it round that way, you can flip the charge pipe round, but the route there is not as easy, as you have the gearbox on the passengers side and the gear linkage in the way. You cant lay the pipes to close to the gear linkage as this moves up and down, if a pipe obstructs this movement you will have trouble selecting gears as I found out when I made custom pipes.

If you decide to go with running a long pipe from pancake to passenger inlet on the FMIC, make sure the pipes lower than the rad, as the last thing you want is air passing from the rad and FMIC going over it, as this will warm the pipe up and increase the charge temperture, which is the opposite of what you are trying to achieve.
