me tooo

hey i was gonna put mine on yesterday but decided just to built it up, is it a must to replace all the jubilee clips? here is mine all built up ready to go on this wednesday

do the silicon pipes just slip over the standard ones?
did u feel a big difference in perform or is it more of an asthetic sort of thing

 

[Reuvers]

maybe now in winter not so much, but wait till summer comes. you'll notice trust me.

As shown in first page, look at the OEM intercooler. Its tiny, plus its hidden behind your wheel catching barely any cold air...

whilst this one is right upfront constantly being cooled.

Nice guide, that'll come in handy in a few weeks time. How deep is that uni cooler you've fitted?

Do the outlets of the cooler need to be at the top to avoid trimming the bumper?

looking foward to doing mine now gunna leave the grill out on mine tho

 

[andycupra]

great guide and will be helpful to may im sure.

what is the reason / restriction that led you to find the intercooler the 'other way up' from how it is shown in the first pic.
Ie in the first pipe the in/oulet pipes are at the bottom of the intercooler. But have been fitted with them at the top.
Is there restriction behind the bumper?
The reason i ask is that it would appear that you had to 'modify' the bumper bracket further from that shown in the first few pics to the later pics.

I was wondering at the pipework may be hidden behind the bumper better with the pipes at the bottom? or would they not be 'protected' as much?

 

[sparkie1984]

Yeah I mounted it wrong to start with mate, the pics are progressive so some have more cut out than others etc....

Replacing Jubilee clips is a defo, they r proper crap, i got some mikalor style ones with the bolt on, think i got size 60-68mm off ebay, much better and only about £2 each

 

[dai cupra]

[stani540]

[sparkie1984]

[stani540]
