This'll fit.
Just needs the dump valve hole blanking off (the pipe has been removed).
Hoses and mikalor clamps included - £75
Wherabouts are you?

Yes you can fit larger i/c's.
Many people with the slanted type will change it for a larger version.
They do fit but can need some gentle persuasion around the bulkhead area.
This is my new one - made a massive difference to intake temps.

Can't remember what model the i/c is off, someone local to me was putting his back to standard so we swapped them over one morning. Brackets were just modded from the original ones with a little bit of clever thinking.

ive got a 2003 TMIC fitted to my 95.
i had to re-shape the bracket the clutch support bar attaches to as the intercooler hit it and i am now just about to re-shape the lip on the bulk head as it hits that as well,not massively but im picky and i can hear it at times on sharp off throttle or reversing quickly etc when the engine moves
they do fit,but if you dont re-shape the clutch support bracket it will vibrate
