intercooler piping kits?
#1
Can anyone point me in the right direction towards a decent piping kit that will have nearly all the connectors needed etc. for front mounting my car?

Any links to a previous buy would be awesome , cheers

Most of the universal kits will be fine, the 'medium size' toyosports cooler is perfect for a single pass FMIC.. you need PLENTY of 90 degree bends, silicon and metal. DO NOT get anything bigger than a 2.25" kit because it will just make life more difficult for yourself fitting it, for little to no gain at all.

Don't go near 2.5".

2"-2.25" is ideal.

Xantia inlet is 2.25".

Meh, it's the sort of thing once you've measured it ten times it kind of gets hard to forget..!

If you have a ph1 radiator I'd be tempted to go 2" and squeeze it around either side.

Otherwise if its 2.25" loop it back and take both around passenger side of radiator.
