Default RS500 intercooler - modified for GT30/35 turbo
This is a GENUINE RS500 intercooler, which has been modified.
  • The intercooler inlet pipe has been straightened, this is useful for use with GT30 type turbo conversions.
  • There are two threaded holes on the top of the inlet pipe for temp probe/water injection unions (easily blocked with blanking plugs, not included).
  • There is one threaded hole on the top of the outlet pipe for a temp probe/water injection union (easily blocked with blanking plugs, not included).
  • One of the top mounting brackets has been cut off (pretty simple job to weld a new one on if that was a problem)
  • The other top mounting bracket is bent down (easy to bend it back)
  • And finally, a hole has been tapped into the bottom of the intercooler, currently fitted with a sealing union.
Please note there are 3 'pin holes' on the front of the cooling fins - as happens to all large/open front mount intercoolers. These holes are clearly shown in the pictures and can easily be sealed with Araldite or similar. I could have done this and painted it black and you'd never know...
