I've had the same idea as you mate, I want something similar to the apr or ths kits. I found this core http://www.universal-intercoolers.co.uk/shop.php?Group=1 (the one at the bottom of the page) was just gonna fit the core and try and figure out the pipework afterwards. Planning on using some wire reinforced flexible silicone tube for the length that goes through the crash bar.

Yep...... I've arrived!!! 

I was gonna copy the ths one just like you but there are 2 pipes that can't be bought, one being the silicone bend with the extremely long leg in the crash bar, and the other is the metal pipe that passes over the pcr pipe that houses the map sensor.

Also the cooling properties of a single sided inlet/outlet intercooler aren't as good as the charged air can take a 'short cut' and not pass thru the whole cooler so potentially is a waste.

It can be a ball ache and you will prob have to get a different bumper (depending on the size of the cooler, if you have air con ect..) but tbh it'll be we'll worth it once its done.

no way i want to lose my aircon......... or change bumper  so are we saying a toyosprts bog standard £150.00 kit will do the job if needed?

What turbo you got on it?

If your on about the one in the link for 190 that won't be great as the 2" piping is gonna be restrictive

(Looks the same as the link you just put up, so pipe work on hot side will be 2"..... Can't remember but think it was Dalo that had a kit similar to this and changed it because of going stage 2)

That intercooler a beast. Piping wise what did you use? Universal kit or what?

There is literally only the brackets that hold the radiator on in place haha, the whole kit was bought off a member on here called TonysGTI, really good and a very good fit

[davemk4]

Anyone know if the toyosports or turbo revs ebay kits fit the golf or is extras needed??
