Ok, have finally finished it..

Ended up taking way longer than i originally thought because I couldn't get the Turbo to IC hose to stretch over the IC .

Here's a few pics:

Looking good Bo!
Gimme a text/PM when you get this fully installed.

My car's become a parmanent feature of the garage at the moment!

By the way, if the rain persists and you can get the car here (somehow ) then you can use the cover of my garage.

Going to use a Evo6 intercooler on my TDI and S4 much the same as the one in this thread but a bit smaller at 500x295x70mm 60mm outlets

BUMMER!!!!!

Managed to get my 9" deep one mounted to the standard xmember today

With only one inch drop from the main body of the xmember the bumper still wont go on

Looks like a new x member is in order here too...... Unless I can lose an inch in height somewhere along the line. Contemplating snipping the flat spot weld section off the bottom, Drilling two big holes in the top and mounting it like that too the crossmember with no brackets at all........ Just to lose that little bit of height, lots of washers needed though to spread the on the inside of the xmember........

Hmmm will give this a go tomorow if the snow is not too deep!!!!

@JAMO Where have you found a decent chargecooler? I've been looking for a good one for some time as an alternative to the S4's "interheater".

PM me not for forum eyes!

[4WheelDrifter]

Good find Stu, that does look a better design. Any ideas where to get one from?
Pricey?

Yeah. Maybe a bit pricey, but here is another link to give you some more ideas.

[Billman]

Yeah no reason why not.

Im taking all the Stainless to the Metal shop behind work on Monday. He can then give me a price and some sort of a time scale, hopefully it won't take to long.


Bo

It must clear the oil Cooler duct and must fit without too much hustle with RS2 Front bumper.

I am asking too much?

[merlin's S4]

it's about the same size as smog fitted to his
check audifans matey

Yeah I've seen smog's intercooler thread on audifans and I'm impressed, but it's not as big an intercooler as the one that bo's using and smog had to chop the bumper more than I would like to. Even the Apikol FMIC (www.apikol.com) for the urS4/S6 isn't that wide and it's regarded as the best upgrade for our beasts. 034 motorsport are also selling them now but I've spoken to Brendan at apikol and we don't think it will fit behind even the European S6 bumper let alone the S4 because it's 3.5" deep! The American models had much deeper bumpers!

This is the sort that is more efficient:

[Dpicariello]

The "intercooler king" as he calls himself on ebay replied and tells me that he won't be getting any medium sized intercoolers with inlet and outlet on the same side anytime soon.
Not ideal, I may see if I can get the big'n to fit but it's nearly 800mm wide
