Intercooler pipe work
« on: 31 July 2012, 21:28 »
I'm looking at getting one of these intercoolers
http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/mishimoto-universal-intercooler-small.html
Does anyone know where I can get pipework for it to fit straight on or will I have to buy a universal pipe kit of ebay and cut it to fit?

Its going to have to be custom really, toyosports on ebay do universal piping, but it goes over the top of the engine, all down to what you want really

I don't mind it going over the engine cause i'v put the battery in the boot and i'v remove the washer bottle so i'v got the room for it.

^^ added link, you need to spend alot of time trialling the piping from what I have heard getting it to fit right but would definatley be better than standard but not as good as a THS or Forge FMIC setup

yeah they do look better and have the swaged ends too which is good, as long as you dont mind the faffing you can save £400 easily compared to the other systems but people on here tend to run THS or Forge due to them being made for the car as opposed to universal and the quality of the IC is the main part piping is secondary

Forged intercoolers are not worth the money at all, the only reason why there so expensive is because of the name. the quailty of them is same as the mishimoto ones
