Can a larger Top Mount be fitted to a MY95
Can a larger Top Mount be fitted to an early classic with the slanty intercooler. All the larger ones Ive found for sale are the straight fitting ones with the dump valve on the front. Can these or the larger newer STI ones be fitted on to the old classic without any magor modification.
Cheers

I was just thinking a top mount would be less grief to fit and a bit cheaper. But if I cant get the later style top mount on without magor grief I think I will have to go for the front mount option.

It is a bit of a pain but well worth it. Do a search it has been covered loads of times. I'm sure there's a pictorial step by step in here SOMEWHERE

Cheers Mate youve just made my mind up. Ive read a couple of other threads aswell and it seems to be a nightmare job. Ive just bought a front mount instead.

It wasn't cheap at £500. I spoke to Jaime on the phone and he sourced it for me. He didn't have any tmic's on his website at the time. TBH, you may be better off getting a hybrid front mount from Harvey or flat4online.co.uk (which seems to be down at the moment). Don't get me wrong, the AvoTurbo TMIC works wonderfully and fits perfect but it is a little pricey. The huge amount of extra frontal area of the hybrid fmic is hard to resist at approx £450. It is just the extra work needed to fit it that may put you off.
