FC Aftermarket
Is there an aftermarket Turbo/Front Mount Intercooler setup you can get for the FC?
Do any brands make kits or should I just plumb my own?
Thanks for the help

there are kits, but they arent cheap (around $1000USD). if you can plumb your own theres no reason not to, you'll save a ton and end up with something just as good or better.

it would take a ton of skill to make something as good as the greddy kit.

for me its something thats as straight as possible with a minimum amount of piping, and a small intercooler.
for you it may be something that is as out of the way as possible that fits great and takes up no room, but has to twist and turn around all the crap in the engine bay.
i did mine in two hours with a couple friends, its all 2.5" aluminum, mandrel bent, silicone couplers. only thing that could be better is t-bolts and bead rolled ends, which i can always do in the future. also, i have a small intercooler, but i can upgrade that in the future as well. for the stock turbo i dont need a massive 34236849 row greddy intercooler thats 35% blocked by the bumper, if you get the greddy kit its the only option.
