Default ST170 Turbo Build
Hello everyone,

I think its time to start my thread in regard to the turbo build I'm doing. The car was a 1.6 to start. Decided to do a swap for an ST engine (got a donor) and put in a turbo (gt28rs). I'm keeping the factory ECU (1.6) to control the AC and keep factory interior wiring loom. I want to put in a second ECU from DTAfast to be in charge of the engine and performance part. I think that it should work.
I'm looking at around 350bhp as a final mark. I have some doubts however

What type of fans and intercooler size should be used? Right now the intercooler I have fitted is too big requires to cut up the collection front and I don't want to do this. The fans are too close to the exhaust also.
What inlet manifold would be best?
