As the title states, im looking to get a front mount and i found a few FMIC piping kits on ebay that are cheap but they are only for either a B5 or a B6 A4. Since the B6 is the same chassis as ours, shouldnt that fit with no problems?

Link to kit im looking at, i dont really wanna pay CXracing $300+ for their piping, id rather just be bent pieces and figure it out myself.

Thanks for any input.

Will not be simple plug-and-play, the most basic reason being that the 2.0T has dual side-mount intercoolers as opposed to only one on the 1.8T

Will need to weld in a flange for the pressure sensor on the driverside and block off the recirc pipe nipple.

Yes you are going to be fine. I actually run a b6 Racetec front mount and the piping.

I just learned something new, fits plug and play?

That is interesting to me too, so assuming the b6 varieties may be cheaper...?

Yeah theyre like $90 on ebay vs $300+ from anywhere for a B7 kit

I actually ordered a universal kit for $90

It has a lot of shit in it, but thanks for the feedback guys

I'm assuming you needed to do some cutting to make it all fit, but in the end did it work out? How is everything running?
