SEAT Sport FMIC, Forge TIP, Green Cotton twin cone filter and Miltek turbo back exhaust. The intercooler is very good, better than the Forge one :)

I'm still trying to learn as much as you, James..

Feel free mate :)

Yea, 30'C in this weather isn't good. But thats what you get with a SMIC mate.

Even a cheapo ebay special would be better.

I've still got to fit a Newsouth gasket too :D

You will be fine with a ebay special mate, Rob Don said they are fine upto 250bhp. You would see a huge difference with one. Think the cooler is only £90 then some piping...

I've never fitted one before mate but I'm sure if you can fit suspension then you could fit a cooler.

Its only a case of fitting a couple of pipes from the cooler to the turbo outlet and inlet mani.
