Intercooler question

Featured Replies

So if you get the seat ibiza intercooler you can just pick up a forge pipe kit and it all fits.

To be presice what ibiza is the intercooler off?

Seat Ibiza Cupra (both 1.9tdi and 1.8t). Its still some work to fit, obviously, its a large cooler, so you need to move some bits about to accommodate it, but pipework is all ready to go straight on.

That cooler looks like it would comfortably bolt up to the underside of the crash bar. ISTR something about the space available under the bar being 6-7 inches.

No MAP sensor pipe or flange though. So it'd have to be bought separately (from Forge) or from elsewhere.

I reckon £30 is worth it if one can fathom/design the rest of the intercooler pipework and routing.

dont know if thats just for illustration purposes but there looks a hell of a lot of pipework there for the cooler, i would not have thought all that is needed, although it does say pipes can be cut down to fit, and i guess with there being less silicone bends and more aluminium bends, this would be better i imagine.

The clamps look like mikalor clamps too which is all good and the rating is up to 350 which you would be going no where near so it looks ok.

Although is £130 too cheap lol

Sent them a msg last night asking if it had one and you are correct. :)

any more opinions on this option? anyone going to bite the bullet lol :)

This was posted by someone on here a while back and im sure they will let themselves be known at some point! So credit goes to them!

right this will be miles better than the forge kit......

i'll number the items in the order they go... this will get you from the turbo right through

working away from the turbo....

1. 90 degree silicone bend 50mm

2. 80 degree stainless bend 50mm

3. Long silicone 50mm coupler (around 250mm long)

4. 90 degree stainless bend 50 mm

5. reducer from 57mm - 50mm.....

Intercooler ( i believe its 57mm outlets, but you should measure to confirm, may be 64mm)

6. reducer 57mm - 50mm

7. 45 degree stainless bend 50mm

8. straight coupler 50mm

9. 90 degree stainless / aluminium map sensor pipe (possibly phone up forge and get this item seperately?) or get a 90 stainless bend and get somewhere to make you a mounting point

10. 45 degree silicone reducer bend 50mm - 57mm

11. vRS Dovit top stainless intercooler pipe 57mm

12. 57mm 90 degree silicone bend

13. jabbasport 57mm egr delete

that will be miles better than the forge kit :thumbup:

how much different would this pipe work list be for an intercooler with twin pass ie the seat sport one? wondering about doing some custom piping and require a list for a twin pass. Obviously it would be the same to the intercooler right? just getting away from it back to the egr pipe would be different? am i making sence or talking rubbish lol :)

Best way would be to have the car in bits for a day or so. So that you could measure the pipes and figure the installation out properly. I've heard of people mocking up pipework with plastic drainpipe in the past. Then getting pipework made in alu/steel and/or silicone.

Obviously not a sensible option for a daily driver...
