I was talking absolute pressure, which is about 1.7 bar of boost

Give it some boooosties as Tony says

Life begins at 40.... and boost begins at 2bar!
Are you kidding me!!!!! Did you even have your eyes open or look at the speedo!!!!!!.......................Or consider that the car coming in the opposite direction was probably doing 60 or 70!!!!

Is a 4x4 cooler any longer than a 2wd one or it is just depth? I think with some clever ducting and a 4x4 cooler we can crack it.

I guess the yellow peril (Wilfred) will be spending some time in my garage over the next few weeks!

Lee, I have det cans and AFR meters at home too so we can go play BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTT.

Great cars, when I was a kid my next neighbour had a passion for these and spent many a year building, racing, fixing and kicking his pride and joy.

He is still a car nut and we keep in touch although now he has moved on to the Porsche's.
He always talks of the old days and misses being able to be "Hands On" with the maintinance and modifying. I reckon you will learn alot from this one. The fun is being able to tinker IMO.

Look forward to see what you do to your New toy!

on my T3, with standard engine, 3 bar sensor, 4x4 cooler and greys, mine did 308bhp @ 1.7 spike tailing to 1.5. It has for the last year and a half ran at 1.9 tailing to 1.7, without any dramas and it is used every day.

cheap but effective

mikeR will probably have exact dimensions etc.

IIRC the 4x4 and esccos ones are the same size? so if you can get a 4x4 one in, put the esccos in instead for that chargecooling too

If the Dax rush body dimensions are anything to go by a 4x4 one will fit but it will need the end caps modifying I understand they need a nose cone vent to work well though.

Cool choice of car by the way

You seen the used car market... housing market.... stock market???

The market for 4x4 intercoolers is a nightmare mate... DOWN DOWN DOWN!!! a sea of red, tales of woe and negative equity abound... you will be lucky to get a Ł10 for yours...

ESPECIALLY one that was owned by a bird and may have had MAD levels of boost thrown at it!!!

I'll give you Ł12.37 and a packet of wotsits...

Wouldnt that get confusing about wether we were talking about it or you though?

I suppose we could always say "the one thats a bit slow" to narrow it down, oh no, hang on, that wont help.....
