Part 1:
here are the pics of the brackets:

drivers side:


passenger side:


Now pics of fitting at top: As you can see its a tight fit!
Drivers side:

passenger side:


Now my question is this: do u think the brackets seem located ok? I feel the passenger side one is a little to close to edge but theres no more room to move it???

PART 2

Heres the hose fitted from intercooler to thottlebody
TOP:

SIDE:

Am not happy about the fit, anyone else got a pic of theirs? I think mine dont fit cause i cant line up the intercooler straight with the t/body, but theres no room to move the cooler over any more???

Oh and finally heres the cooler:



Any comments would be appreciated thanks in advance

 

had the same problem with my radtec one sent it back and bought a ggr one m8 fitted wank their rad fitts very well though m8

 

mm thats interesting Gus, Keith from Radtec uses this site, has anyone got his username, i will pm him a link to this thread for his comments

 

kl@radtec

 

pm and email sent anyone else?

 

i didn't put the rubber bushes on with my AH one

and the boost hose looks well..."not right"

 

never knew ya was doing that today, should have belled me

 

Spikey, did ya use any rubbers at all? and did ya use spacers?

 

my boost hose on mine fits a bit iffy to be honnest but i had it all looked over jus after i got it and asked the tuner to point out any problems my car had and he did not see it as a issue as theres enough hose on for the clip to seal good

 

I didn't used rubbers or spacers on mine either.....

 

sounds familier dont it scot


presurise the atmoshpere to .5bar on the was to southend with the boost hse poped off

 

mm might try it without the rubbers, Steve do ya reckon theres enough bracket on the passenger side ot be ok? as i cant move it across anymore?

 

If it were mine i wouldn't worry tbh..... i'd just use a bigger washer

 

get ya hammer out

 

cheers Steve, I rekon maybe the little extra height i would get without the rubbers might sort that angle on the hose.
BIG washer will be purchased tomorrow

 

no washers at all

 

I would send it back and get one that fits properly!
My ProAlloy one fits perfect
I wouldn't personaly fit it witout the rubber washers either as they are there as a kind of damper remember the engine and hoses will move if the cooler is too rigid it puts a greater strain on the hoses and brackets!

 

Im totally with spadge on this one!

If it dont fit right its no fucking good is it?

send the fucker back!

 

my radtech fits mint, no rubber washers holding it in, it sits central

 

You tend to find that the Radtec ones need a little jiggling to get em to fit.

Mine needed a bit of "modding", but I didn't buy it for the looks, and Pro-Alloy weren't even around at the time.

 

mine went straight in, must have done for me to fit it after all lol

 

yes i would say the same as spadge and henry send it back

 

So they are a shit fit then

Switch send it back like i said earlier and buy one that fits properly

 

"my radtech fits mint, no rubber washers holding it in, it sits central"

 

Yours fits perfect Matt as the front end on your car is twisted

 

coooont

 

Spadge - when you paid what I paid for mine, I couldn't give a fuck if I had to custom mount it on the roof

Having said that, most Radtecs ae a straight fit.

I would use the rubber washers and sleeves though! I did for the rad, and cooler - where is the engine movement take up supposed to go?

 

Rich i got mine for a very reasonable price to but i would have still returned it if it didn't fit properly!
Switches one doesn't seem wide enough on the brackets and i don't think he should have to use big fook off washers to lash it on
Agree about the rubber washers hence saying so in my earlier post

 

p.s Rich
Having seen your track antics i would have mounted it on the roof anyway if i were you it may last a bit longer

 

touche

 

tbh I obtained mine at a very reasonable price too, the cooler fits just seems a little off central or that one of the mounts aint long enough maybe my car is twisted

Will await Keith at Radtecs response

 

Hello Switch , fitted one to Pauls car our sales Director week before this was sent didnt have this problem looks for what ever reason that the spacing between fitment holes is different on your car.We can alter the brackets on yours if the fitment worrys you. Let us have an address and we will get it picked up and altered for free.We sell upto 30 of these a month and problems with the pattern are virtually unheard of, but if a customer receives a problem i hope we are quick to resolve it. Feedback from real customers apprecited.

 

see my feedback above pal

 

You sure that isn't an escort one?

 

Keith as usual, I am extremely happy with the response and customer service
Am going to have a 2nd look at the fitting again before i commit to sending it back for alteration I appreciate your help and will be in touch
Have always given good feedback with the customer service I have had from you and the customers I have sold your products too are always very happy too
