Hi Everyone, I found some interesting stuff this week while cleaning out...
I have a complete FMIC intercooler kit for the Mk5 available. (You're probably surprised to learn we offered this setup) It's been a decade+ since we developed this. The cost to manufacture at the time was so high we couldn't compete, so we never fully released them.
The kit fits the Mk5, all models. It includes the intercooler, charge pipes, OEM intercooler pipe adapter, couplers and t-bolt clamps. I ran this kit on my FSI and loved it. The intercooler core is a Treadstone C6. We built the endtanks in-house with mounting brackets to fit without modification. The piping is 2.5" aluminized steel powdercoated wrinkle black. The OEM intercooler pipe adapter was CNC machined by us. I think I am showing 2 couplers in these photos but I would include 3 and the necessary clamps. The clamps are stainless steel t-bolt clamps for silicone couplers.

I have one complete kit for sale. I don't know what to charge for this, so talk to me. I've been out of the scene for long enough to no longer who's selling what for how much.
I have 12 more sets of pipes if you're building your own. Looking for $50/set for those. No more OEM adapters.
I also have 8 Vibrant intercooler cores available. These are #12831 and they measure 22" x 9" x 3.25". We used these on our Audi TT 225 FMIC kit which also met the same fate as the FSI kit. Manufacturing these took way too much time and materials to compete. I have two cores that are brand new, each with a small dent that doesn't affect performance. I have 6 cores that we had welded endtanks on, but cut them off. If I remember correctly we had a design change. There's nothing functionally wrong with these, they just need to be touched up.

I would like to get $175 each for the two new cores and $75 each for the other six.
I also have a couple of our older model O2 spacers available. Looking for $35 each. They are raw steel, so they will rust. (People keep asking me for these even in raw steel, so I will post as I find them)
Plenty of Mk5/Mk6 Shifter Cable Support Brackets, Mk4 Triple Gauge Panels, Mk3 VR6 SAI Plugs, FSI boost taps and PCV plates, AN Fittings.
