FMIC Nightmare! Where Have I Gone Wrong?

Post by renegaderacer »

Right guys, I recently brought an FMIC off eBay for my B5.5 1.8T and decided to fit it this weekend.
What a NIGHTMARE! :mad:
It's taken me a day and a half as I can't for the life of me, get the pipe work to fit properly. It's now on and runs ok but is so low it grinds out over speed bumps at walking pace and means I'll never be able to get the car lowered. :(
I'm sure all the pipes are in the right place but I can't get it any higher than it is.
Have I made a blindingly obvious mistake or is it time for another intercooler? I can't even put the old one back on as I had to cut a piece of the hard piping/crossmember off to fit this.

Any help greatly appreciated. :-bd
Cheers,
Giles
