what you guys think? deffo not original, dont think its a mk2 one either cause that was pretty long.

G60 one use in place of the G40 one?

nah its too small, got wierd brackets on it, and the inlet/outlet are all in the wrong places.

im assuming a mk2 g40 intercooler is like the mk3 item?

Look on ETKA, its wide and not very tall on the right side of the car not the left. would almost look like a small fmci

No idea what that is from but it's not a MK2 G40 one. There is also a 'G40' ECU on Ebay for some ridiculous buy it now price - completely different part number, shape and connector to a G40 one.

The mk2 G40 version is a long and narrow front mount, low down with a nice scoop. Just how it should be on a polo and not shoved at the side where there was spare room

Just checked the part number for the 'G40' ECU on Ebay - it's for a MK2 Golf 16V!!!! Shame, it was a bargain at just £189.

yeah i saw that ecu too, i'm sure someone was trying to sell it on clubpolo!

£189? I'm sure it was £195 the other day?

Still a bloody rip off unless it's brand spanking new?

it's not a g40 ecu so yeah not worth buying! even if it was one, they normally go for about £100 less than that too
