yes you just mount it in front of the rad but you will have to change your boost pipes I think.

You will have to bend some of the front cross piece to make the i/c move further towards the front.

When thats done,i had to put long bolts through the chassis to hold the i/c in place as it did not bolt on like the saff one.

You will then need a longer hose than the escort one,as it has the charge cooler built onto the standard i/c.

A saff 4x4 one will be the same, as long as it fits the turbo outlet pipe.

its shaped like a question mark.

I had to get one from Roose motorsport as i had a T4 on mine.

The other side is the same as standard escort or saff.


If you are buying a new one, go for the gen escort 500 spec i/c.

I already had mine and could not be bothered to sell it and buy an escort one.


Hope this helps.

the front cross piece that links the chassis rails together.

the bumper sits on it, lol.

You will see as soon as the bumper is off.

there ie a lip of about 20mm,i had to bend this edge over so it would sit in that bit further.
