[urq] UrQ Intercooler Solutions

[Ben Swann]

So Steve, this is on track with what I am considering, but which intercooler
fits?  What size/dimensions?

 

Does the Alternator stay in stock position?  Already the stock intercooler
pushes into the wheel well, but ther is a little more room to grow outward.

 

How is piping routed?

 

???

Ben,

I did the heat/bend modification to the driver's side wheel well liner in my

5ktq:

It may not be as pretty as getting an actual urS part grafted in, but it takes
no time at all to do.

Cheers!

radical sport quattro setups and some extreme examples  where the bumper/core
support has been completely cut out and  reconfigured.

The one you show looks nice Cody, and I have some units that are  similar in
dimension.  However, unlike the A4 and model 90s, the core  support is not
removeable without cutting and there is no room there.

I like the idea of extending a unit fore of the wheel - same
