Front Mount Intercooler Kit
Im in college now and besides school and work dont have as much to do with not playing any sports full time. I am getting a settlement check for 450 next week or so and im looking for a front mount intercooler kit to work on when my car is stored in my barn during the winter. I found this one on ebay does it look
like it would be an easy install? with all the necessary party... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...25862947QQrdZ1

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit
Looks to me like one pipe is missing... Unless I they are running some different piping route than I would with that... It should be good for the most part though. If your missing a pipe I'm sure you can always get one somewhere or make your own.

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit
Also dont forget that a lot of times on ebay the pictures aren't always what you get. Maybe it said otherwise, but I've noticed even when they say it's the same one, it's usually not. 2 Cents also

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit
drill not so much, Saw-zaw (rep saw) is needed, screw driver, basic hand tools... you need a way to mount the core thought... here is the write up on my FMIC install, hope it helps.

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit
It looks like it is indeed the short route piping... But I'm not entirely sure about the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler... Did you buy the kit then? Did you not get all the pipes it shows?

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit
the kit should come soon.. i think i might buy some more piping and couplers and clamps separate if i need to...
2 questions... is that really the greddy type rs bov, and iis it a good bov? And, what is the best way to mount the intercooler, can you weld to it or drill holes to the sides of it?

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit
The Greddy Type RS is a good BOV, but I doubt it really is a RS.

Re: Front Mount Intercooler Kit
Oh and I forgot to mention one thing. If your planning on recirculating that immitation blow off valve won't do it. Even if you get the recirculation kit for the real greddy type rs it doesn't fit. The real greddy type rs has a bigger venting thingy.
