Autobahn FMIC fitting guide, anyone got one??
Hi I`m after a fitting guide for my Autobahn FMIC, I know its just a matter of lining up, but I`d rather have an idea of what needs to go where and which way around before I start.
This is the cooler.
And this is the jumble of pipes I need to get my head around lol.
Have emailed Autobahn, but they won`t email me the instructions, and asked them a few times to post it to me and no joy. Someone must have the instructions somewhere, that they could email me or scan??

Cheers guys, by the looks of mine being smaller the inlet and outlet go at the top??
As its in the first pic of mine, but its all like a big jigsaw puzzle.
That guide will come in VERY handy though.

But its orientation of the cooler and I like to have a paper back up to my memory, not because my memory is crap, but if I get distracted or think "Hmmm which pipe??" I can let the instructions tell me.

And I cleaned the pipes, and the marks came off. Also had the one pipe ally welded, and core pressure tested and all was good.
If you could send it to me that would be superb, I`ll get it scanned and loaded up onto my photobucket account so if anyone else (in the smallest chance possible) needs it.
drop me a pm with your address and I'll get them out to you

Well managed to finally scan the pics, so if anyone needs it here is the manual.
Anyone wants the links to the larger images let me know.

Erm no lol.
Bit hesitant as I don`t want to fit it without a remap, and I`ve bigger injectors here, tubular manifolds and up pipe, and will get them fitted then remap it.
I`ve heard and read many a story bout fitting one and it causing problems, so I`ll air on the side of caution until its ready to be mapped. I`ve been called a chicken, and scared of it for not fitting it, but it`s my car to destroy and I¬d rather fit then map lol.

Get it fitted, plumbed in, then remove the two uppermost pipes if you're concerned, the re-fit the top mount. Just use some tape to cap the intercooler pipes.
Mines never been mapped with FMIC though.

My old engine was never mapped for a top mount but that was because I knew the new engine was being built and I figured it was safer than the top mount it was mapped for.

As above I`ll get it on when I get chance, as the sooner I get my butt in gear and get it on the sooner I can get it mapped!

First time for everything I suppose. 
Exhaust, induction kit, Fuelab FPR, boost controller and that's about it.
No problems other than I've blown some gearboxes up.
