well ive dismantled the turbo a bit more cause it needed a new turbo and whilst i was doing it i kinda got heavy handed and snapped a pipe and the two lugs off the rad now ive seen an alloy radiotor made by rad tec and ive also seen a large pro alloy intercooler, is it possible to fit them both with out cutting the bumpers or modifying any panels? also what are peoples thoughts and feelings on the mentioned items? thanks

 

I've asked a similar question in another topic.

I had a Pro Alloy i/c put on yesterday and the car is running a lot warmer than usuall which i thought might happen as there is no direct air flow to the rad ... but at the same time, my rad might not be upto its real job.

i did a search before posting, and found 80% of the time, people put a 82 degree thermostat and a manual fan switch in place. Also noticed that alloy rad's help keep the engine cooler when sitting in traffic, but theres no real difference when travelling.

 

yeah sounds similar to what might happen when i fit mine! ive just bought a brand new themostat so i cant be bothered buying a new one so i'll just fit a fan switch, got a mate whos a sparky so thats nice n cheap!

so now all i need to know is if i can fit the pair together without attacking my front bumper!

 

You looking for a front mount??
I have a Radtec one I might be selling, Mint condition. PM me
