    Does anyone know if the PD150 Bora runs a front mount intercooler as standard?
    Does anyone have any standard pictures?

    If so, can anyone help with part numbers for all the hoses / pipework. Will this directly fit my PD130? I would assume it does, but would just like to check.

    Yes it runs a front mount intercooler which is sandwiched inbetween the radiator and aircon condenser, it's quite a big job to replace as well as it requires the aircon to be degassed and regassed afterwards and the whole front end needs to be pulled forward and supported, coolant also needs to be drained and refilled afterwards.

    Ah I see,

    So not as easy as just bolting it to the crossmember then?

    Damn it, I thought I was onto a winner then.

    Getting hold of an FMIC (VW or otherwise isn't the problem) is the pipework that is going to cost a pretty penny, I was hoping to use the VW OE parts.
