There are 2 main options, either:

1)use a generic FMIC and pipework, which is probably cheaper to buy, but requires more fabrication and modifying the front of the car;

or (and this is what I'm currently doing)

2)fit an OEM FMIC from a golf G60 or rallye, these are probably more expensive to buy but easier to fit so long as you have all the bits (the rallye IC is longer and requires modding/removing your front tow eye) since they were designed for the job - the front subframe has mounting holes for the IC.

 

There are also kits available from G-werks, Jabbasport and others (?) which include the IC and all the pipework. For the Golf IC, try german ebay, as they seem to come up more often than in the UK.

 

Either way, you need:

The intercooler (obviously)

A charger outlet, either a rallye u-bend, or a RS type outlet

Boost hoses to go between the charger outlet and the IC, and from the IC to the throttle body

A means of mounting the CO pot in the pipework between the IC and TB.

 

All available reasonable easily (if not always cheaply!)

 

Further reading:

have a look at G-werks, Bahn Brenner and Bar-tek websites, ebay, and search on here, look for threads from flusted, he's got an aftermarket IC, and somewhere there's a good thread by Shilkadaddy who used to have a Golf G60 IC in his rado. There's also a german website with a how to of fitting a Rallye IC, good pics of what goes where etc.

I know this is an old thread but did anyone download the guide mentioned above as the website is now a domain holding page.
