First of all, i dont care if you think the intercooler is crap or not. All i want to know is if the bends will work with a quattro a4 99.5? Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-01...53797327QQrdZ1

 

Find one just a little thinner if you can, i think the last write up i saw reccomended 2.5 thickness or thinner, there is not a lot of room between the bumper and rad.

 

the bends look perfrect to me should be jus right.... and acetrebo last time i checked 2 3/8' is less than 2.5' ???

 

The ebay page i clicked to had a dimension of 2.75 inches, otherwise known as more than 2.5

 

lol thats funny on the page its says 2.75 but in the pix ot says 2 3/8

 

ebay intercoolers actually aren't that bad. its just they are wider than the ones you would be paying 1000 bucks for and are harder to mount. you got to do a lot of bumper cutting with them. try and find the thinnest one you can and you can always find a shop to custom bend the pipes for you if they dont provide them. if your getting this one i would email the seller and ask which measurement is the correct one.

 

Running an ebay intercooler and lovin it...
....well, was running one until a pot hole took it out.

That one will work fine. I just did one like it. You will have to cut the back of the bumper to get it to fit though.

 

but what about the bends? The DIY says that it needs to be a 35 degree angle. The only kits i have found offer a 45, 90, 75, and 180. And isnt 3 inch a little big Viking? Also, do i need redusers? You know like 2.5 to 2.0. Thanks guys. This will be my christmas gift to myself this year.
