Will this intercooler fit?

[noone]

Ok, I'm getting into this one... Great find Redliner, I have not seen many cost effective designs for our car.

Few photos borrowed from Briskoda;







Looks like we will need these;
Bracket- 6LL1458808C
Bracket 6LL1458808B
Bolts to fit the brackets to the intercooler- N90280904

Sound about right Troy?

add another $36 plus freight... (have a look at this thread for the reference, also, as there is a mounting kit for the car this comes from, they may be able to supply the full factory piping kit for 1.8T).

With Troy's list of bits he got for $200, this is potentially a $700 kit (closer to $600 for groupbuyers in 3's). Not bad, not cheap but pretty good considering the core and coming across the globe.

I don't expect this will be of great gains over the Forge unit, but I'm pretty finicky so happy to spend the $$$ and hopefully make a few squid back from selling my Forge core to a less anal owner.

I'm going to sit on this for a few hours, but will be likely jumping on this today. If you are local to me, PM me if you want in to reduce the freight marginally ($120 for 1,2 or 3 units shipped).

Anyone know where to get brackets from?

Anyone know where to get brackets from?

Yeah, the part numbers I listed are the same, and the link I posted has a guy who priced supplying them recently, thus the pricing. We can get a batch shipped once we have quantities confirmed.

You can count me in if you order the brackets and bolts for a group order. I've already ordered the intercooler. I am based in Sydney.

The pipes and silicon hoses are easy enough to order from ebay.

For those of you who are concerned about the quality of FHS intercoolers, here is a link with a highly modified Revo Seat Leon Cupra K1, with 360bhp utilising a FHS intercooler.

Guys, make sure you get some good hose clamps. I had to cut some of the piping (so I lost the rolled lip on the end of it) Which means that the hoses have a chance of blowing off easier.

It happend to me out on the road, lucky i was in my friends street lol. Anyway, good hose clamps will save you.

Good point, ive come across some crappy ones, the ones in the Forge kit were top notch.
Any recommendations for something off eBay / online?

[vwthunder]

I just got ones like this from supercheap, they can be done up really tight

Hose Clamp - Stainless Steel, 51mm, CAL51HCS / SSHC51 - Supercheap Auto Australia

Nice. I'll travel for those.
I'm pretty surprised that this came up, id been looking earlier in the year for a good replacement, this could well be it.
OEM fit, good price, what more could you ask for.

[Redliner]

I have just bought all the bits and pieces for the install kit except for the mounting brackets.
I found these hose clamps:
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
Cost me $58 for 10 x 51 and 2 x 60
The total for all parts is about $254.

Nice dude.

Want to hit up the guy on the Briskoda site for brackets for us? Seems like you and I are the only ones salivating at this time...

I'll need to work out what bits to make the Forge piping fit the new cooler, shouldn't be too hard.

Does this cooler have 2.5" connections? 60mm reducers stretched?

[Redliner]

From what i have read it said that it has the Seat end tanks with a thicker core.
This implies that the Forge pipe kit will fit the THS fittings.
I just used the guide that vwthunder gave us and bought the pipes etc.
These are the parts I bought:
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
Note: buy two reducers and 90 degree alloy pipes.
There were some cheaper chinese pipes etc but I chose the best value higher quality items.
Hope it saves you some hassle.

I have message David from Seres about the mounting brackets.
Will let you know what he says.

[noone]

Sorry, to clarify I have the Forge FMIC, so will need to adjust the connections near the core.
Thanks for your input mate.

[Redliner]

Should just fit straight on.
The oulets for the intercooler are a little wider apart.
I'd say there should be enough adjustment to spread your existing pipework out.
If your outlet pipes are a different size then you'll only need reducers.
Easy install.

[leitch]

Pretty sure the pipe work needs to be quite different to the forge polo fmic, as Anthony and Troy found with the seat coolers.

If anyone in Brisbane is interested I could be keen for a 3 person group buy, too (looking at you, Jason/Sean).

[VWindahouse]

Do it lads!! You'll be chuffed for sure.

Ben piping is way different unfortunately.
