Can you post up your pics of how it's fitted?

Also, how have you plumbed it?

Cheers

mine is fitted pretty much where the standard intercooler would normally sit. I have a GRS intercooler at the front then an airtec alloy rad behind it with the airtec turbo rad sitting next to it. It is plumbed in between turbo and radiator. So water comes out turbo through turbo rad into radiator.

Can take a photo tomorrow for you when its daylight out

ive moved mine as much behind headlight as possible. its held in by tie wraps lol. simply because it's the best way. im going to have to take some data logs when the car goes on the road to watch the inlet temps, as the filter is behind the cooler. i did some maths earlier and it should have minimal effect on inlet temps apart from on idle where thje map will compensate anyway.

dave y - would be interested in pics mate

Rich - ive been ill after holiday, then away with work so it's not going well! Hoping from now on i have some time. Im just enjoying blipping the throttle at the moment as it's sooooo responsive..
