Front Mount Intercooler

[Joshkcupra]

I think I'm gonna stop tinkering now, I've kind of got to a point where the car is fast enough, and I've done all the mods I want power wise, my next purchase will be a Veyron VNS screen, and that'll be me done for tinkering with the Cupra.. Need to start putting money away for my house lol

Anybody else getting impatient waiting for their cooler?

 

[DGF264]

Haha yeah me lol.. Although I can't get it fitted till the 30th! Hopefully it goes straight in.. Removing air con as well when's yours due Dan?

 

[Dan FR]

Early next week i think. Wont be able to fit it until at least the 30th either, although i'll be keeping the aircon. Just hate waiting for things to arrive in the post.

Wondering how much i'll be stung on import tax too

 

[DGF264]

Hmmm I did think that as well.. £30-£40 I think Josh said he thought it should be (although they messed his up & charged him £3.50 lol!!)

 

[Dan FR]

Well i used the Gov.UK calculator and it worked it out at just over £30, not including any fee that the delivery company will charge for the privilege of collecting it.

Mine was only £183.88 delivered so it’s not the end of the world even if I do have to pay the full amount.

 

[DGF264]

Cool.. I'd be happy with £30-£40 cos that still only stands me £220-£230 ish as I'm fitting it myself

 

[Joshkcupra]

I'm pretty sure they'll only charge you £3.50 as the invoice says the cooler is only worth $30

 

[DGF264]

Fingers crossed lol

 

[Joshkcupra]

Let me know the result

 

[DGF264]

Will do still happy with yours? No pipes popped off or anything? Lol. What stage are you? And r u going to get car mapped again to take I to account the new cooler?

 

[Joshkcupra]

All the pipes are still on, the car feels more free revving, and picks up a lot quicker top end wise. I'm running stage 2+ on APR v3.4, I don't think you need to have the car mapped again to take into account the new intercooler..? Could be wrong but I thought it adapted itself

 

[Dan FR]

No map tweaking needed on APR, take it you're already on the high octane setting running 98/99 Octane?

 

[Joshkcupra]

Yeah, only ever run it on Vmax

 

[DGF264]

I'm Revo stg 2 so could potentially change the timing? Only run on vpower (tescos 99 very occasionally) think I'll give Revo a call lol..cos I'm sure it'll all need logging first either way!

 

[Dan FR]

Potentially... depends what you're running now and how good the new cooler is. Don't change anything without logging
