In the past I’ve read loads about over heating problems when having front mounts fitted, also having seen the same issue on a mates Orion Turbo. So I fitted the intercooler and wired the fans to a battery to see what the air flow was like through the IC and rad. Result, not much, most of the air from the fans just blew out of the gaps above, below and to the sides. So being a bit of an F1 fan a listen to them go on about hot and cold air traveling a different speeds etc I thought I’d seal the IC to the rad with foam tape (From Screw Fix)

Which I fitted to the IC and looked like this, Refitted the IC and fans a reconnected to the battery, WHAT A DIFFERENCE, the increased air flow through the rad is very noticeable as now 100% of the air through the IC now has to go through the rad
Hopefully this should make a difference.





With it fitted it creates an air tight seal



Mounted


Repositioned mounting points



And 10-15mm of space between the fans and the inner edge of the bumper.


I’ve done it this way as I didn’t want to modify the bumper in anyway and has been left standard 
