SPG Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I am looking to fit the CW SMIC I have, but wondered, rather than fitting this to the stock plastic pipework I was wondering if there was a hardpipe kit that could be fitted to replace these. Has anybody fitted a hard pipe kit to a SMIC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I have a CW SMIC fitted to my car with a Whifbitz hard pipe kit, from the Throttle Body to the intercooler it fits fine but from the intercooler to the turbo it bepends if your single or stock twins still. If stock twins it will fit fine but if single you will need this section of the intercooler kit modifying as I have found out and also expected.

Chris Wilson Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Any hard pipe kit designed for the stock side mount IC and your turbos will fit my IC, but don't expect any performance increases whatsoever from a hard pipe kit. Purely for looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 And to replace 15+ year old hoses. The rubber sections of the stock intercooler pipe work were in poor shape on mine, especially the elbow than joins to the throttle body.
