Fitting a fmic on a Vito

[Ash26]

hi I had a quote today for a remap on my Vito 108 cdi.as it’s the same engine as a 110 cdi and i think the 112cdi but dimmed down the stage 1 remap will put it to just shy of 150bhp.but I’m wandering with the big gain with no actual cooling it’s going to be hot and cook Wich i don’t want to happen.
So I’m asking has anyone fitted a front mount intercooler to a vito and what does it involve.can I use the manifold I have now or do I swap for the 112 cdi manifold as they have intercoolers to allow me to join a fmic onto.much help and views on this required.i have seen one on google fitted.thanks
Picture is what I’d like to achieve with the fmic

Has anyone got a detailed diagram or know where I could find one of the pipe setup.or could any 112 Vito owners upload a picture of what there engine bay looks like with the intercooler hoses.thank you

Have you tried the online parts catalogue? You can look up diagrams of pipe work etc

Looking on google it’s a subject that many people have asked before on here and the other mb forum but haven’t actually got a answer or not updated that they have or not.i spoke to the remapping company who gave me the quote and they have said that you wouldn’t need a fmic fitted if it hasn’t got one but you can do it if you like.i haven’t actually been able to get out and look properly to see if I have one as my model is the late version before it went face lift so may well have one.evenbif it has I would be upgrading it to like the picture as I like the way it looks.

It almost certainly will have one - so just stick a fake one up front. And save messing up the engine's running (turbo lag, black smoke, etc).
