just got my new intercooler today,
just a question for people who have one or know how to fit it,
it sits infront of the radiator, but i dont know if it bolts to original
holes or new ones have to be drilled,
it is a pro alloy, the one with 2 fans on it.
cheers

 

bolts too 2 original holes on the front panel under the top of the front panel u will see 2 holes.was a bit of a pig to fit i have a pics


as u can see from the pic theres an oblong shaped hole just above the hose that connects the intercooler to the 180 bends just below that hole are the fixing holes i presume, theres 2 of them and i had to cut my front panel which i wasent keen on but it is a bigger item bearing in mind i had the rad as well.


the front grill will have to be modified to due to the cut out,this may not be req on your car however i wanted to make sure the car could be put back to normal easily if req, so i used an old grill and cut it and split the front panel with a junior hacksaw and bent it up. then if req i use my spare grill bent the front panel back down 2 mins with the mig bit of touch up paint and back to standard


the hoses i presume u have to supply yourself cuz i didnt get any[/img]

 

cheers mate, i have actually just been e mailed fitting instructions of pro alloy,
thanks for the help. ta

Hi Chap...
The 180 degree alloy bends fit to your original hoses... did you not have the originals for the car??

kind regards

yes had the originals, im talking about the bends to the intercooler as in the pic above. i had to cut up a spare hose to fit them

a pic explains better
