ebay oem equivlent:
oem replacement
other wise, you could retain the oem hard lower pipes
grab a core from ivan
then you need a 90 for the cold side
and then you need a pfl hot pipe or cut your fl pipe, and then two 45's and a bit of straight pipe
ill try find some pics in a bit

Thanks Paul. Only thing is, as above the EVO 7-9 coolers dont fit.
Secondly i was under the impression that the piping associated witht eh stardard cooler is restrictive?
ahh, are they thicker or something?
regarding piping, i compared the stock ones to my greddy pipes
stock are the same diameter and hav decent lookin mandrel bends, they're slightly heavier, but they hav 2 or 3 mounting brackets, also that way you retain the bov location
if i was to buy another intercooler kit, id keep the oem lower pipes and replace the cooler and top section.
ivan's intercooler will fit nicely with the oem lower pipes and some silionce joiners and bends (just remeber you'll hav to chop your fl hot side pipe as it kicks up at the end, the pfl one doesnt)

Quoting from TomTom RE: EVO Coolers
Hmm thats interesting, damn so much information and it keeps changing lol.
So ideally we would want a PFL hot side pipe, FL cold side pipe and replace all the flex piping up the top with hard pipes?
Does teh PFL hot side pipe still require to be cut?

nope, it stops earlier. it finsihes with a 90 bend toward to the cooler, where as the fl has the 90 and then a kick up at the end

thanks Paulie!! 
it makes sense now. So if i get PFL hot side pipe i just need to make up two small attachments and im set! love it.
Tom, by the looks of it you need to get something made up for the hotside pipe also however you do not need to modify the hotside pipe.

If I said that sentence made sense to me, I would be lying
. do you mean that the hotside pipe still requires work?
Fl coldside pipe = pfl cold side pipe
hot side is as pictured above

Haha crap thanks for making things very confusing there Paul! I refreshed and they'd been edited, phew. So in a PFL we can just buy a core, get some joins to make it fit the OEM lower pipes and we're done? Then perhaps Ivan's hard piping kit for the top pipes would be useful?

Not the right thread but i've got one of them on its way. It takes ages if you don't use the courier option which i didn't
From what i understand this is correct!
EDIT: Gave you some rep paulie
