    Re: front mount intercooler pics

    I guess your gonna have to heavily modify your front bumper to fit that. I'm just in the process of fitting a modded 2wd cossie cooler and it fits behind the std bumper with little or no mods. You can pick them up for next to nothing. Think mines was £15! It gives a good improvement and allows room to move your air filter to the front of your car. Result in my books

    Someones got one for sale in the classifieds at the moment

    Mine fits in the grill area too.

    You would have to ask gtmatt where he got it from though.

    just a quick one...

    looks like most of the big ones are bar and plate? are they 'glued' like the forge jobbies, or are they so big it doesn't matter. the leading edge of the tubes looks flat on pretty much all of the big ones, surely that wont let the air pass through smoothly, or am i just talking jibber jabber?!

    Re: front mount intercooler pics

    My Intercooler is a little smaller to Blicks but involved no cutting of the 5 just a few drilled holes to hold it in place and I can still fit the OE grill again no cutting was required but I did have to change to a campus pulley and belt along with shortening the top alt arm support this was really due to the size of my boost hoses and my boost pipe run (routed like this to avoid the HT leads).

    OE Grill Off


    Grill in place



    Top rad support bracket now a nice Pro Alloy jobby seem's to do the job nicely



    Pipe run routing
