Got a genuine one on my car.

the inlet pipe (from the turbo) has to be cut off and moved upwards and outwards slightly otherwise it points directly into the centre of the alternator.

other than that its just a case of getting the 2 boost hoses to and from the intercooler.

Roose can make the hoses no problem - and may even still have the dimensions as he ade mine for me.

I looked into this and it wasn't worth the mucking around and finding gen pipes and good condition R500 coolers are very thin on the ground, so I bought an all black pro alloy one which flows and cools better
