IMO fuck it off and fit a single standard cossie intercooler in a front mount position instead. More effective and less grief to fit.

You can infact (with good results as ive done it twice on mates cars) fit a std cossie cooler to simply replace the std intercooler and the std main boost pipe, so it just sits along the front of the engine bay.
Sits v.close to the bonnet (and dented a mates in the end ) but is v.effective

You reckon you can fit the S1 in the front bumper? Cool, i thought you was gonna bodge it in in standard location!

As a front mount i think itd work well, car better than it does in the std RST location.
