I would be moving that induction kit you would be getting a lot of heat soak from turbo cut the telephone hose so its a 90 deg bend and put filter on so air comes through intercooler it would be a lot better. correct me if im wrong but has the car got a manual fan switch i can see some wireing there if so put it back to normal.

Dont get what u mean mate about telephone hose?and the bend of the turbo?

[Mr Raider]

Telephone hose is the one that goes from the air filter to the front of the turbo, looks a bit like old school telephone. If you dont cut it, basically it means that the airfilter will sit right next to the turbo which will be red hot and cause hot air to be sucked into turbo (heatsoak). If you cut it at 90 degrees (in middle) it will allow air filter to sit longways in engine bay and therefore across the back of the intercooler for less heatsoak so it gets more cold air. I have mine like this, also would recommend running a heatshield to save wires, hoses etc getting hot/melted from turbo

Pretty much mate, so ur air filter points towards the wing. A had to move my coolant slighty to fit the filter in beside it! Yip mate very easy to do.
