Will this just be a straight fit as far as the hoses go. do i need to cut the ABY hose or have to buy new ones. I know i need to make some sort of bracket to make it fit is that all i need. Just wondering before i strip the car and then get stuck for a part
Paul, are you changing the S2 IC to an RS2 IC? What else are you changing? I was planning the same so I would like to know if any real changes occur due to this swap.

The hoses fit fine, although reattaching them can be a bit of a ******! Mine fell off after 50 miles on my first attempt.
I think the trick is to have the intercooler and crossmember half off the car when attaching the hose up to the pipe that goes to the throttle body. I ended up lying under the car resting the intercooler on my face whilst tightening up a hose clip.
As for whether I noticed a difference afterwards - No. BUT - it is essential if you want decent power via an RS2 exhaust manifold and turbo.

But wouldn't the bigger capacity IC weeken the car if you don'"t swap the turbo at the same time?

I wouldn't have thought it would weaken the car, unless your refering to pressure loss. The bigger the IC the closer to ambient temp. you can get the intake temp.
I'm not sure though as I don't know how efficient the s2 intercooler is.
"It's big, the core is 22"x22"x2.5" with 2.5" end tanks, it's heavy, and it flows, a ton. I'm not sure what it came off of, but it's like the large 23 row NPR IC, but on crack with 35 rows!. Everyone said I would never get it in there, well you were wrong! All it took was making a new cross member. The other two intercoolers are my old Porsche 944 and a Daytona Turbo II IC. I only have good things to say, turbo spool up is lightning fast now, not slower like some would think, and holly cow does the car pull at 16 psi. even when it's 95 outside. It feels like the old one did when it was 40 out."
then take a look at his car's specs and most recent drag times...
