Craig 0 Posted October 25, 2006 Just getting some advice really, if i was to fit an intercooler id have to do it on a budget. obviously the main thing would be the cooler itself and then the pipe work? but im a bit clueless as to what would be suitable, just as a feeler would these merc c & d class ones be any good or better than the g60 one. http://url.the-corrado.net/1256b8 seeing as its cheap as chips? i have very little knowledge so just testing the water really as to what and how i would go about this, and ive read quite a bit using the search and the sprinter intercooler seems a good buy but a tight fit? so if i went ahead what restrictions is there to what intercooler i can get (size etc) and where would i get the piping from, samco piping? g-werks? i know it sounds basic but im really just looking into it all, cheers for the help though, craig.

flusted 0 Posted October 25, 2006 i basically made all my pipe work from scratch using a 2.5 inch stainless exhaust cut up so i had numurous bends etc,then used samco pipes to join it all. its basically having to go totally custom but i did mine for well under £100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted October 25, 2006 I did not use the merc one as its the wrong shape for the plumbing on the VR6 but on G60 i have no idea but they do use them,its off a 311cdi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
