Cupra Collins- whats the dimensions of your intercooler mate?
Black 20v- Sames as above!
Cheers Paul

Here's a pic of my brothers IC, i added a pair of size 9 golf shoes(nearest thing to hand) to give an idea of size.
Diamentions are 230mm High x 70mm Deep x 715mm Long. The actual core length is 530mm

You keeping your car now then pete , wouldnt bother with a 350z they are slow as standard , i might be buying my mates of him when he is selling it , 19" 3 piece rays wheels , supercharger , and loads of other **** , could always buy that of me when i get fed up with it
well if i got one i was lookin into supercharging it anyway! but keeping cupra for now! too much fun to drive!! should be even better at end of the month after been back to jabba!
Specifications
Volume 5408cm2
Core size = 530 x 157 x 65 mm
Inlet/Outlet diameter = 60mm (2.1/2")
Core construction = Plate and Bar
Length between Inlet and Outlet = 715mm
Tested to 5 Bar
hope this helps you mate its a bit different look to most the others i like it
Thoes Ebay one are Bar and plate contruction, which are much better than the forge items, especially for the money..
saying that the Forge ones fit with no custom work..
Either way, get the biggest you pheesably can, charge temperature is the single most impartant factor when tuning a forced induction car..
The bar and plate cores are good on some applications usually on huge turbo conversions 450 bhp +. the tube and fins work really well on smaller turbos
Just so you guys know when we develope an intercooler we test with bar & plate , tube and fin and tube and fin with 3 different types of air turbolaters ( twisty things in the inside of the intercooler tubes that help cool the air core )
we will have the test data for all cores then decide on the air core that gives the best cooling characteristics, sometimes the lowest temp drop isnt the best , you need to look at how quickly the air passes thro the core and at what rates ist cooled as it passes , we test with 3 or 4 thermocouples , drilled and tapped into the air core on the top and bottom, this is then logged to see which performs the best on each given application .
Dont believe all the hype you hear

to get power i know iv spent roughly 5-6k on engine but then 1k on brembo's to stop the thing! still more to come for mine now im keeping it!!
LMAO !
With all due respect,
If you have a car running 10psi with a small turbo working hard produing lots of heat, and an identical car running 10psi with a larger turbo , hardly working at all, running a lot cooler, the car with the larger turbo will be producing more power..
Name as aspect that has a more profound effect on a forced induction car than charge temp?

Jesus i dont think i can afford that kind of money lol. I would have liked to have had an ibiza running a spec like that would be awsome.
Looks like i need a better job
