Dont buy from this ebay user FMIC
FMIC from Ebay.
What a treat ive had today.... and yesterday fiiting it.
1st found out that there wasnt any flange at all for a dump valve, So i called the bloke he said "yeah there isnt any, people havce to get them welded on, So i said ok, Wa sa tadge Pissed off but went to AAS at Newburn, and they welded me one on cost me £10, all fine and dandy....
Came to fir the kit and there is a pipe missing, i was fuming!!! So i Called him again and her replys " Oh yeah ive had a few people tell me this" i was like well dont you think you shoudl check them first his reply was " Well i know but i cant get the pipes" Well Should stop sellign them, Any waysi managed to get a pipe to fit and all was ok, We have all the bits needed Phew, Or So i though..
The Silicoln Hoses are too small for the Pipe work, Manage dto get them over but its a squeese, The Clips dont fi over the silicoln Pipes.
Purchased 20 Jubs for £7.00.
Came to put the bugger on and managed to get the intercooler on fine cut the front mounted etc etc, and the pipes are too short, ive had to cut pipes and use silcon to make them slightly longer, Need three more bits of pipe tomorrow then that will be the pipe work done, What a Ball Ache and sick as sh*t.
I think the bumper is not too hard to refit, im sure im going to have to loose the fog lights..... Any one? look at the pipe work

It's a universal intercooler, no way is it designed for the blobeye. I reckon with all them bends and lengthy pipework the top mount intercooler will probably be more effective, Personally I would try an sell this kit and get one more car specific, Aps or Perrin.

not just the pipes and bends, read several articles bout these ebay intercoolers and feedback on resulting temps. is not gud at all. in fact they suggest that the standard tmic performs just as well, sorry to further dampning on wot seems to of been a miserable day m8, gl anyways and i hope everything works out ok.
