Hi folks, I've been doing lots of searching for intercoolers and I'm just looking for a little reassurance that I'm not buying a pile of cack.

The toyosports seems popular, is this one that I've hopefully linked properly any good and should I buy it with the pipes/fittings or get them elsewhere?

Thanks

I found this list too which seems to be the common way to do this:-

Throttle Body side

1x 76-63mm 90 degree reducer in silicon

1x 63mm 90 degree silicon bends

1x 63mm 90 degree alloy bend

1x 63mm straight 100mm alloy coupler.

hot side

1x 76-63mm 90 degree reducer in silicon

1x 63mm 90 degree silicon bends

2x 63mm 90 degree alloy bend

1x 63mm x 300mm straight alloy pipe

1x 63mm 45 degree alloy bend

1x 63mm 45 degree silicon bend

1x 51-63mm straight silicon reducer to go onto the turbo outlet.

1x 63mm straight silicon coupler.

Now I understand the 100mm alloy coupler on the throttle body side needs to be the forge map sensor piece but what do I need to do up top with the dv and n75? Is there a kit available with a pipe section made for this or do I have to get one custom made?

Sorry for the apprentice like questions, this is my first turbo car and I'm learning all the time.

I'm also interested in the answers. Never fit a fmic before.

That kit is ok. typical set up

 

I did the whole job.

 

Will do a DIY guide as have loads of pics.

 

I did not rush this job and l went with replacing Inlet manifold for a Audi TT to get the throttle opposite side to help with pipework. Also fitted BAM charge pipe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bowders - please oh please oh please upload a how to for this! Your guides are always awesome on here and they've helped me over the years

Hi Mark, that install and your whole engine bay is truly epic, a real credit to the hard work you've put in, I seriously doubt mine will ever look as good as that.

How much extra cost/hassle would be involved doing it your way over the other route? Essentially I just need it all to work.

I've got a lot to pay for to get the car stage 2, I'm just starting actually, so I'm going to have to do it all bit by bit as and when I can afford it, vr6/g60 clutch with lightweight flywheel is first up as my clutch is slipping.

Guys thanks for comments

 

Well here goes guide added to the techi section

 

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/351358-how-to-custom-fmic-welly-install/#entry4212828

 

It is focused on the BAM conversion though so hope it gives you a general idea.

 

I can always provide further info though

 

cheers

Those brackets and crash bar look nice ;-) lol

Hi I forgot to respond to your comments regarding keeping costs down. You don't need to do the bam inlet as that is just a preferred option and better way of routing pipework. But you can get the same effect just keeping std manifold and utilising the pipework and hoses from a universal kit. You just have to make up the right bends and pipework connection to get from fmic to throttle and to turbo. This will keep costs down and also probably get you car back on road quicker. Mind you anyone will tell you messing getting pipework to fit and be in a perfect position is a work of art tbh.

I have seen some right bodge job's.

When now you can by a welly for £90 new. A bam inlet for £30 a bam charge pipe for £30 and a bam map sensor and pipe from around £30. I have a spare charge pipe and a one off custom made charge pipe to turbo hose cost me loads to get his company to make them). I know which route I would take...[emoji2]

Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time to respond and the information you have provided is first class, total legend.

I'm seriously thinking about the bam route now.

PM sent regarding spare charge pipe etc.

Cheers buddy.

I meant to say one off charge pipe to turbo hose too. As you can't get any reducer to fit charge pipe to the K03s turbo due to turbo I flange being so Dam small at 45mm
