DIY Intercooler piping?

[Stifler]

Hi everybody.
I started to gather parts for FMIC but i cant find anything on outer diameter of throttle body, i know i need some kind of silicon reducer but unsure witch size. And where to buy it. Any advice is welcome.

Just take of the actual hose off and measure the inner diameter > then once you know what size you're looking for go here...

Thanks TOM.S, unfortunately i didn't have time to do it, and wanted to order to arrive till weekend. But other parts what i ordered also didn't arrive i need to wait till next weekend and start to test fit it.

What pipe work you using in the throttle body pipe? Was looking at it earlier and I reckon you could get away with 2 45's and a alloy joiner.

I ordered 2 45 alloys and small map sensor mounting tube. First i gonna go with silicon joiners, later to weld them together. But now i starting to think about changing my intercooler What i have is tube and fin type, and maybe i can go with bar and plate style and with not needing to modify the crush bar.

I did my own pipes on my b6 got all my parts from ASH auto silicone hoses seemed pretty good! I'd love to do a fmic on the b7 kits are so pricey! Good luck

Yes they are over priced. I don't think that i gonna hit 250 pounds mark in the end. Only if i change my intercooler for better one, but first i gonna try this ebay intercooler.
