1Z intercooler setup
Hi all, my 1Z is coming on a treat but where is the best place to locate the intercooler? i thought about putting it in front of the driveshaft on the n/s, also behind the n/s rear wheel, also the area behind the rear light on the n/s so it gets a good air feed from the vent, whats your thoughts and any one got any pictures please?

Is that using say a golf intercooler in front of the starter motor? Do you use the golf pipes or custom pipes?

Using later passat one due to size/shape/hose position.
Mostly 1Z pipes witha few sillycon hoses.
85' ish with intercooler in battery tray/bottom of pillar, 55' max in scoop above gearbox. Proved by VCDS figures
