On an MY97/98 cooler you will need to cut off the dump valve elbow, in order to clear the idle control valve.
Also trim a small amount of the intake pipe wehre it joins the throttle housing via the thick dumpy hose.
You can also re-use the intercooler to turbo hoses to mount the DV, if you are lucky enough to have samco's from both the MY97/98 cooler and slanty Pre97 cooler.
A small amount of bulkhead massage may also be required to stop it rattling when driving.
See pics below of RobEvo5's car. As he done it last week.

how u fit that ?
How did you get that IC to fit ? i have a IC off a 1999 model and will not fit in , way too big , hits bulkhead and also pipes underneath hit the stabliser bar mounting point...i found the only way it would fit is by changing inlet manifold.

Before I fitted an FMIC I had a MY00 TMIC on MY96 - piccies below
You will need remove at least 5mm of material from the throttle body and from the TMIC outlet - you will also need to 'modify' 
the mount directly below either by cutting away or 'massaging' lol to gain clearance. I also fabricated my own mounting brackets - well worthwhile though 
Cheers

Nice one , may look into trying to fit it again as still got the IC that i got for £35 of ebay and have also got the bonnet plate too .. did you find a big difference in performance with larger IC ?
Also how do you put pic on here as can show you the IC i have to see if you think is the same ?

Right what I now need to know is what scoop/undertray can I fit to my MY93 bonnet that will slot straight in, I have borrowed a 99 scoop but it will need mass cutting of the bonnet which I don't really want to do
