Get a large universal cooler and a universal hardpipe kit from the bay

Should see change from £400 and plenty of kit there to do a good job

well yes, but if you do get universal pipe kit, throw the joiners that comes with it away. theyre not even good enough quality to piss on.

its just a case of getting bits of pipe to fit together like a giant lego set till one end meets the other. you will need reducers though. it shouldnt be that hard. 2x 90 degree reducers either side of the intercooler to back past the ends of the rad.
