Default Pro Alloy Intercooler fitting problem

Hi

Trying to fit the Pro Alloy intercooler on a S2 (the kit with two small fans) and it seems like i have to move the radiator 5 mm towards the turbo, otherwise the intercooler will not fit correctly.

Has anyone else had that problem and how did you fix it ??

Does anyone have a pic of the top bracket mounting ??

Henrik

I know you can move the bottom part of the radiator back a bit, making 2 smal brackets.. BUT the top part of the radiator, how do you move that back ???

think you're trying to get the fans between the IC and the rad? I had the same problem and i think the intercooler has to be as much as you can to the bumper and the rad then so far as you can to the turbo...

I mounted the fans on the front of the IC
