We decided to fit some extra cooling today, so installed a intercooler spray kit DIY style.



Got the intercooler shroud finished too, don't want any free air getting past

that looks pretty cool.

you may have come across this already but this gives some interesting drag figures for how effective your type of air dam is.

We used rubber matting from a conveyer mate, and to be honest neither of us felt much of a gain from it. But more of a hindarence hence it's gone

Was it just sill strips you felt no gain or flat floor altogether?

Big thanks to Matt from m tech, sorted out our boost solenoid and tweeted the map, can't be happier. Stopped pushing our luck at 1.6bar no point going for more. Spool up is a lot lower now, with a more usable power band.
