is there anything i can do or am i stuck thanks will

 

It won't fit mate without a different Dumpvalve.
The P1 (99/2000) models use a DV bolted directly to the Intercooler, the 98 uses a hose mounted DV.

Also, on a 98 the idle valve (circled white-ish plastic bit) is right in front of the mounting holes for the DV, as the P1/99/2000 models have the valve on the other side (left from throttle body when seen from the front).

You could fab up a blanking plate, to blank of the hole in the Intercooler that the DV mounts to, and keep your My98 hose/DV valve. (this would be the most simple option)

 

If you have no luck I might buy the intercooler from you as I have a MY99 and I only live up the road...

 

any 1 know of an intercooler that will fit and act as an upgrade also still have this p1 intercooler gathering dust lol

 

You have a couple of options open to you :1. you can sell it and buy a sti intercooler of a 97/98 car which will fit straight on. 2. you can buy an adaptor plate that just bolts over the holes and has a angled exit to the right which will allow you to use your existing hoses.Whichever option you decide try and get the Y pipe set up with the intercooler,as this allows a smoother flow of air over the restrictive oe unit.

 

I did this upgrade, I bought a right-angled adaptor that allowed me to use my 98 dumpvalve with the new i/c.

Paid nearly as much for the adaptor as I did for the V6 intercooler, LOL

 

cheers well the p1 intercooler came with an oe dump valve which i was hoping to use as ive got a bailys on atm so need rid off that if i get an adapter id need a new dump valve(original one)?? also where are adapters availible from ? confusing lol cheers in advance

Its no different to the P1 intercooler bar there is a elbow that comes out on the right which connects to your recirc/dump valve

 

I got a v3 sti inter cooler doing nothing if your local

 

Hang on, I thought the V5/6 intercoolers were better? The P1 is like those.

 

V5/6 intercoolers are the same as a P1 no different,version 3/4 intercooler is the same bar no recirc valve bolted on.
