Default Changing prefacelift intercooler for facelift.

As title, does it just bolt straight on or are there some mods I need to know before hand.
Thanks.

what year is your car, do you have the slanty tmic, if so it's not just a straight swap i have fitted a version 7 tmic on i tell you it was a sod to do,

you need custom brackets, you need to remove the triangle shape metal from uder the slanty tmic, and also grind some of your throttle body and some of the tmic it's a lot of work for not a massive improvement in power or torque, but it does look a hell of a lot better though.

Thanks for that P6. Mine is a slanty one and I have bought a facelift bonnet so was just going to use the standard cooler for the facelift.
