    Where's the kit from, do they not provide instructions?

    Have you got a picture of it installed in a car? Looks like the pipes might come off the turbo and go above the gearbox. Then behind the headlight near the battery.

    The FMIC on my A3 was like this.

    Send me your email address and I'll send you some pictures.

    Similar idea to my A3. Pictures sent. I reckon a trip to Bunnings for some aluminium bar and stainless bolts would be the way to go. You can see in that album how mine was mounted. You'll be able to do somethiung similar no doubt.

    I reckon yours is shallow enough to fit under the bumper without cutting. I wasn't bothered about that and wanted the biggest IC that could go in.

    The aluminium is just to make brackets from.
