how can i get full use from my FMIC

[NGOLF.U]

does anyone have any suggestions to get full use out of my cooler.
Half of it is blocked by the crash bar and the front bar.

I was told i could get the cooler dropped and my front bar re moulded to fit it.
That is as low as i can get it before modding the front bar.

The one I was looking at came with a new crash bar. The only way to move that one down is going to require some chopping I'm afraid.

yeh man i ended up looking at the new crash bar... it would be around the same to mod the front bar as the shipping cost is huge plus also they need a $300us deposit on top of the price of the crash bar.

Drop cooler down a few inches, move numberplate off to the side and then cut some of the front bumper out upwards to let more air in.

I cut the bar on my A3 then cut out the number plate slot and moved the plate to the passenger side. Job done.

My intercooler is a single pass and runs differently to the standard setup. The pipe goes over the gearbox, across the front and straight up into the TB.

Hate to see what an insurance assessor would say if he saw that!!

It did work but it was tiny. I couldn't realy make it out. If you could get a bigger pic that would be great.

That sure is one big intercooler. It looks like you cut right through the crash bar?
