Just fitted a hart inlet to my car with a top feed intercooler but the cooler is higher than the throttle body and don't have much room between the two, where can I get a step down hose have had a good look and cant find anything!

Air tech copy of the spec r top feed intercooler.

Matt lewis or Rouse you may have to cut it down to size from each end but will give you the angle your after. They should have these as it's a combo that people usually fit.

You can get a specific one which is listed for Swedish plenum, I used it on mine and was able to trim it to suit, it has the correct kink in it, I will find you the link

This is where I got mine

Or sort the intercooler so it fits correctly with a straight hose ?

When mine was fitted the Spec R intercooler had to be mounted lower than where it had been before to allow the Samco hose to fit in almost a straight line. Also had to have lower hose outlet from the power sreering tank moved to clear. Not a straight forward job.

Yes, mine is the same as Cossynut. If you did as Stevieturbo says you would need to be lifting the engine a few inches and apart from a hole in the bonnet I think that might upset handling.

I am sure you also do not want to cut out the front of the car and have your intercooller dragging on the road so maybe a simple boost hose is the right solution?

Have looked into doing this but it means the rad would need to be lowered too, plus the intercooler would then catch the bumper if lowered.

Have had a look into doing this but it would also mean the rad needs to be lowered! Its been a pain fitting it so far its a bigger inlet than the hart but along the same lines, iv had too chop a bit off the battery tray to get it too fit!

Looks like yours was even more of a work up!
