10mm is alot when your trying to fit the thing, lots of trimming with the inside of the bumper to and for some reason ive managed to fit the 50mm core with ac still in place but needs adjusting though not quite sitting right,

Fitting isnt to hard but would help if someone knows what there doing with the kit though im not to good when it comes to cars, ive had it all apart and seems fairly simple, will post pics when i get a memory card for my phone so i can download the pics.

Jabba fitted my 40mm core without cutting the bumper and only just removing the lower grill, i'm not sure if the 50mm core comes with brackets to move the rad back a bit to give more space and still keep the a/c.

 

[arron2004]

so i wont have to move the rad back with my kit ? or do you still have to with 40mm

 

[arron2004]

nei are the brackets hooch sending me the standard or different as every one seems to get different brackets?

 

[Cupra20]

I'm not sure, i just watched tv while mine was fitted!!!, i don't think it's been moved back but i haven't really looked properly since it's been fitted.

Alex or h17och will know as they've fitted one or two between them.

 

[arron2004]

wicked i will text hooch as he is the one sending me them!

(Im making my own charge pipe out of hard pipes and silcone hose connectors).

i have just orderd all 16 lol the most money i have spent on jubilee clips £36 lol, just a quick one with the pro alloy set-up do you have to move map sensor as i have just been reading and some ppl have on other fmic set ups?

 

[Cupra20]

The map sensor fits in a boss in the solid pipes on the throttle body side of the set up.

 

[arron2004]

ah got it! will a forge map sensor pipe still be compatible with the pro alloy pipe work set up

 

[Cupra20]

Not sure mate, have test run with it when you come to fit it if it does then job on i suppose,

You mean this one

If it is then you'd have 2 map sensor bosses to fill, unless you did away with the Pro Alloy or forge one, will the pipe sizes match up to each other?

 

[arron2004]

thats the one i am on about just got to wait to see the pipe work them i can have a play see what fits!

 

[arron2004]

right guys does any one fancy doing a little talk through of what i have got to do on saturday to fit this kit?

 

[arron2004]

Any one know if there is a set of instructions on the pro alloys on a web site or on here >?

 

[Robbie C]

Does the 50mm core depth only mean you lose the A/C on a Pro Alloy setup because it's quite tall??

The likes of the THS and Ebay coolers are normally 65mm and I haven't heard anyone mention having to remove the AC??

 

[arron2004]

right fitting it now need some help to see how this is fitted? what to i have to mod to get it to fit how to move the rad back etc? if any 1 got a pic of how pipe work runs be a big help ! cheers boys
