Mounted the charge cooler on top of the gearbox longitudinally - made a bracket out of a 1ft piece of soil pipe cut in half and went from there. my pump is mounted behind what used to be the passenger side fog light and the tank is in the scuttle area passenger side.

Hope this helps

When I Took my old one of my gtt.I trial fitted it on my dads orange gtt and mounted it slightly in front of the rockercover,it fitted perfect,looked neat and was a very short boost run

The only prob being that it would sit level with c/c water tank so could be a pain for removing airlocks

I dont suppose you have a pic do you? I could mount the water tank higher in the scuttle area maybe?

I ran mine just in front of the rocker cover.

I did have mine like that but several people commented on air locks due to the location.

I'd agree with that Andy air locks. :'( . I found it was **** at cooling and put too much cluter in my engine bay even when I moved the pump and header to the scuttle area.

Any way Shoppers was asking for pic's I gave one I'll stop the slating of it. :)

If it's any help, I'll be going to the Frog in 4 weeks, you can have a butchers at mine then if you like.

Can you send a photo of your current engine bay

I have no issues with space in my bay with mine installed the way I have it.

I got the same one from Mike some time ago - I'd try him:D

I got it to prevent arcing occuring from ht leads to boost pipes.

if its for his turbo 2, i think they fit a fiat too. Hans motors had em on the shelf.
