(the pipe aint needed as I don't plan on reverting to standard, and we couldn't be arsed to drop the subframe, so hacked the pipe off)

definately, i have thought for a while that the uni one seems small, Ian agreed. It may be an inch wider than the forge one, but height wize, i'd say less that half that of forge. The uni one is only just bigger than the gap in the bumper

That looks awsome! Good job Ian, pics make it looks so easy! Easily the best looking intercooler. How was the drive home Mat?

was ok.

must have added extra 100bhp and extra 250ft lb :D

nah, i first noticed a change with the DV, instead of a "tsh" it was more "t-tsh". that stopped on way home tho??????

did feel a little more responsive, but I think that that's the usual mind tricks kicking in.

Cheers again Ian (and Lu for the coffee)
