It needed pulling towards the front bumper a little to clear the 180 degree hose  Pic of the pipes down the side (51 x 57 reducer 90's) Where they lead to. The top hose needs trimming down a tad. The cold air feed is retained I cut a bit off the 406 top pipe, this ends up being 2" when you do so  The old inlet elbow and air doser removed Where it came from  This was an absolute twat to remove, easiest way was a hacksaw after undoing the jubilees, one on the turbo (accessible from the wheel arch) and one on the inlet elbow/air doser (accessible from under the car through the exhaust tunnel)  Very restrictive design down to around 1" in places  New all alloy inlet elbow  RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Paul_13 - 18-03-2015 Here's the bottom turbo pipe, a thanks to Allanallen on this one. The pipe is not a direct fit! Here's the bits you need to trim The part of the subframe that needs relieving (I was in a rush so this could be done neater ) Turbo pipe fitted. The PAS pipe gets right in the way Off of the above pipe you want to install the last 51/57mm reducer 90, then a short bit of pipe, the 51mm joiner and the last 51mm alloy 90 to bring you back to the intercooler (pictured bottom right ^) All back together! My air duct bolt had sheared off hence the cable tie Nice and subtle Make sure you nip everything up. Just to note I cut my own 2" pipes as buying them precut and beaded was going to be expensive. I haven't beaded my pipes but i've yet to have a hose blow off RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Eeyore - 19-03-2015 ah man. wish I had a hdi to do this on now! Ive got some of the bits already! RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Paul_13 - 19-03-2015 I'll do an updated post when I got the improved hoses on RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Poodle - 20-03-2015 Good guide, makes a nice change for something to show a lot of the potential issues too. More useful information here: http://306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=43 Worth merging, mods? Should probably also point out this is only one way of doing it, there's probably about 5 different easy options that i can think of and what you do is all down to your particular installation and personal preferences. RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - allanallen - 20-03-2015 Nice guide Paul, a lot better than the others I've seen RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Paul_13 - 20-03-2015 Cheers EDIT: Updated pipes added and pictures amended RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - ashdturb - 19-11-2015 What differences is there to the xud I'm fitting one to mine do I still need the 406 manifold and turbo pipe ? Or can I use the pug one or a xantia manifold ? RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Poodle - 19-11-2015 Xud is completely different. RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Josh_Quant - 01-12-2015 Good guide loads of useful photos as well.. In the second picture down with 406 top hose how long is the meter joiner between top hose 406 and 51mm 90degree? Thanks josh RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Poodle - 08-12-2015 From the picture that looks to be about 25cm. RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Paul_13 - 08-12-2015 I'll measure when I get a chance RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Josh_Quant - 09-12-2015 Ideal thanks RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Paul_13 - 13-12-2015 230mm RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - Josh_Quant - 13-12-2015 Ideal cheers Paul RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - JTaylor2005 - 20-12-2015 I have just found this one here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Intercooler-For-ISUZU-RODEO-2-5-3-0-DIESEL-03-07-D-MAX-08-on-/400971514577?hash=item5d5bc3c2d1:g:FVQAAOSwd0BVwGRa Do you reckon that would fit well in front of the radiator and those pipes would then go down the side of the rad? Thanks RE: HDI FMIC (front mount intercooler) - markos_7772 - 02-05-2016 Hello! Wich is the diameter of the bottom turbo pipe and the top hose from the 406 HDI? Im gonna made them by my own because its difficult to find then here..
