lol!

Right I need a bit of help people, I need to get the intercooler piping done this weekend but the problem is I cant use a standard piping kit for a KO3 or a KO4 because on the KO4 engines the inlets and whole set ups are different need somewhere that sells silicone couplers; one 'u-bend' with a reducer from 3" to 2", one normal 3" coupler and another small u bend, anybody know anywhere to get these from?

Double fans and gti radiator getting picked up today too, hopefully fmic should arrive today, if it does then we should be rolling by sunday
Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

well includin the front mount (which isnt necessary but makes it easier) so far its cost me £420, thats including the £250 saved when i sold my KO3s, if I didnt sell that I wouldnt have done it. I did already have all the pipework for the front mount from ages ago though
