Front Mount Intercooler

[Doc]

my FMIC costs less than an upgraded.. TMIC

PG pipes and a local core

[tone]

that certainly is a nice paper weight.

I'm curious Doc any idea why that kit for the 3 won't fit the 6? Is there just a difference in front bumper etc. so the pipes won't fit the same? Sad they only make a kit for the 3 not the 6 or I'd be all over that.

Do you have to hack into the reo bar to install a front mount? Curious about legality and safety of that.

This is the one im talking about.. lists everything you need

however this guy has cut his crashbar..

measure up how big you can go without cutting.. pick a cooler from CXRacing.. pm me and ill hook you up with the Australian importer.. it is a lot cheaper to do it this way...

Good luck

Doc

Well this has piqued my interest so I ran around the CXRacing site to find all the parts and here they are. Although I guess this is USD and without shipping. I might grab the details of the supplier off of Doc and get what it would cost shipped in AUD. I have no idea atm where to get the BPV fitting or how much welding it would cost. Not 100% sure if the pipes listed are for the first design of the second one which looks a bit neater.
