Will the B7 OEM DSMIC fit on our B6?

If anyone who has attempted doing this could chime in, that would be awesome. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

With some fab and a few elbow couples they should. The only difference between the 2 cars is sheet metal and the bumpers. Maybe get the part #s from them and see if they're the same ICs from the DSMIC set ups.

dirtybrd: Thank you for your response. The PN's are as follows:

B7: 8E0 145 806 M 8E3 230 257
B6: 8E0 145 806 F (or J) 8E3 320 000 (or 001)

There are two part numbers on the core. I'm very confused.

Here's a ETKA shot for the B6:

One is the same the other could be a different part # just because it has an extra clip or bolt hole on it. Scratch that. The driver side is the same, but due to the different motor and turbo set-up on the B7the pass. side is different. I think it could still work with some creativity.

Mmm just get the right part numbers so that it will save you all the hassle!

Didn't late model Euro B6's have the DSMIC's?

Yes. I believe only the 190HP models came with DSMIC's.

Is it cheaper to do this than FMIC?

**A4ORCE07** · 04-07-2008 08:33 AM

If you did an fmic can someone else use your stock smic for a dual setup?

**quat** · 04-07-2008 12:43 PM

is the DSMIC as effecient as the FMIC? or do you get lower temps with a single larger core?

**speedydragon** · 04-07-2008 12:45 PM

neuspeed made a dsmic right? a fmic will always receive more flow sicne side mounted intercoolers are snugged way behind the bumper.

if you are going to go with the dual side intercoolers then just go with the correct OEM ones for the B6. why worry about fitment issues when the correct ones are already made?

the intercoolers are different on each side, thus they both have different part numbers. do a search for the many threads that list the part numbers for the 190hp DSMIC setup. make sure you get the mounting bracket for the smog pump, and the new smog pump hoses.

here is what I got in my box. it's plug and play, no fabrication at all . . . very easy install.
