    ABY Intercooler on 3B

    Can this be easily done? Have the intercooler and crossmember from an ABY to fit a 3B. It has a Roose Boost kit for a 3B. Not sure if this will fit? Can anyone advise?

    Crossmember and IC will bolt on no problem, you might have to shorten one of the hoses a bit as I think the IC pipe comes up a bit higher. (but that might be the RS2 IC as I have been through all the variations on my 3B over the years) In any case it should be easy.

      I think a 3b cross member has a bend facing up for the pipe going to the pipe above the exhaust manifold and a aby has a straight pipe coming out . I think you might need a aby style pipe to connect up the cross member to the pipe going over the exhaust manifold . Other than that bolt it all on and away you go

        Oh ya another thing the pipe coming from the turbo to intercooler might need shortening a bit as I think a 3b intercooler is a bit shorter than a aby not 100 % sure about that one though .

          That's right you need the ABY cross member too metal intake pipe hose and it need's about 1/2" trimming from both ends. The hose from the turbo too intercooler also needs to be shortened but will fit.
