my new intercooler
Where are you going to put it? I take it your going to cut the cross member?
Bit small dont you think ...
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
im going to be using this 1 on mine my kids got it for my birthday and i dont need to cut the bumper
Fmic's ftw.

Mine fits in the grill area too.
You would have to ask gtmatt where he got it from though.
Heres the cooler on my tungy

Dont suppose you want a spare front bumper for FREE ? its in white bump strips removed , as are the bottom slats. fog holes still intack Slight crack at the bottom of the bumper near the towing eye cover ,
Yours if you can make use of it . Pick up only though
anything free is goodmate.
but tbh a standard bumper just dont fit.
im sure another member would benefit more from yr offer mate
but thank u any way
ill post a pik in the week of how much is left of mine.
and its not alot
not finished yet
No problems Dave , Think Penfolds taken me up on the offer !
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?!
Ah sod it i'm going to stick a pic of mine up again!
didn't they do a bigger one mark?
I'm currently fitting this one.
Mines in here

Which is fitted to another members car with standard front bumper now
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
