FAO those who have fitted FMIC

[mar_k]

I'm working on a Welly cooler install on a friends mk4 1.8t but I need some help from those who have fitted one.

What happens to DV hose and N75 hose that's removed from the metal charge pipe?

How do you plump them into the new pipe work? Is the a special pipe we need to get?

I've not done one on a k03 based car. Don't have the same problem on k04 cars as we retain the metal charge pipe.


Any help is appreciated.

Just re-read the fmic thread and it seems this has been asked a few times but there is no answer?

You need to re-establish a place for them to go. Cold side relocation is often done with the DV which just leaves a take off to add in a similar place for the N75

Thanks wazzer, Is there a link to any of the nipples required?

You kind of need some special kind of pipe I just got mine from some that was breaking there golf I popped up to get a few bits and saw the pipe and asked if it was for sale to which he replied no its going with the Fmic as a full sale but then I showed him £30 and he Couldn't say no

If you know someone who can TIG, you can easily get the nipples welded on.  My welder used the old part of a VW fuel filter for my N75 take off
