You will need to update to the C2T blow off system as well as remove the rear wiper. The factory silicone hose from the turbo to the intercooler and a few needed brackets and studs. If you need a parts list let me know, I can put one together for you.

Eric 930,
The conversion can be done, but it's not easy to do. I had all the parts to do it, but sold them all and went with the Kolkeln and haven't looked back.

Is the C2 intercooler the same thickness as the 77/78/79 version but with a larger matrix face ?.
This might be a nice upgrade for me on my "duck tail" Turbo. With a duck tail, intercooler height is the limiting factor.
Can some one with a C2 measure the length x width x height of the stock intercooler (matrix or core only, not the end tanks) so I can compare cubic capacity with early version ?.
Thanks, Paul

Paul,
The problem is not the core size I believe is it is so much the shape. If you look at the C2T intercooler it is not just a rectangle it actually bows out in the center for the neck of the pipe. The cross section is about 8 3/4, but flares out to 11 inches. The long way is 22 3/4 and the core depth is 3 1/4. I would suspect that the 11 inch bow would cause an issue.
