I have plenty of room. What inlet setup are you running?

Muz - i'll try and get mine to sit tight against each other, but at the moment they are about 15mm apart at one end and 25 the other, can't seem to get them any closer!

you need to butcher the brackets and drill new holes slightly lower down




you see where theres a bend in the bracket i got rid of that bend so it was purely flat and flush with the intercooler and then it sat a lot better.. there is a slight gap but my temps never rose above a quarter and under hard load got to just about half but soon settled back down.. that was when she was running about 3 weeks ago
