    intercooler swap

    How straightforward is it to swap a 3b for a ABY intercooler? Got a feeling the bracket might be different due to size, not sure about getting away with the same X member and also would I need to change any of the boost hoses (got a MarkH mod already tho)?

    cheers

    XM brakets are different and I think the turbo to IC pipe is different too.

        That's a far better option than the little 3B IC

            Thanks guys - got some options here! It was noted at the garage meet when Tina still had the car that the intercooler looked like it had been patched up and as I want to do the markh mod at some stage it makes sense to replace it at the same time. Had a feeling the tubo hose was alittle different, which is typical as Ive just replaced the existing 3b one with a samco

            cheers
