was bored so thought id share some pics of what ive been upto and some vids(albeit shitty camera phone vids)
car was well overdue some work, had a plan of fitting a 2wd cossie cooler without having pipework everywhere as has been done before. walked in very blind, but luckily came out on top, lots of swearing and a good few days later it evolved

![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2555.jpg)
took the turbo off, removed the compressor housing, redrilled and tapped the housing to accept the actuator bracket....why you ask
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2561.jpg)
compared to the original
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2560.jpg)
ahem... turbo now exits forwards
- anyone see where this is going
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2564.jpg)
cooler bought of RS_Nuts (ian
)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2566.jpg)
basically look lots of fettling to get right, including fitting the intercooler upside down to get it anywhere near centralised, my biggest downfall was overlooking the fact that the mouth of the intercooler was actually narrower than the frst rad i was using, managed to get round it though, just
tight fit (ignore temporarily bodged hoses)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2584.jpg)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2585.jpg)
ran out of time, (had an empty workshop for a few days) so had to make it drivable, sat on the drive like this until i had time to finish it
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2580.jpg)
dashing i think you'd agree
then the cutting came -
standard recess (for comparison)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2615.jpg)
cut the upper part of the recess out, and plastic welded it in place (very daunting on my one off bumper
)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2614.jpg)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2610.jpg)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2611.jpg)
cut a long story short, lots of cutting was needed, but i managed to squeeze it in where i wanted it
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2634.jpg)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2637.jpg)
and the finished article (has been off and altered again since to give the cooler a better position)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Rawli123/white/mini-DSCN2680.jpg)

leaving the back brakes, car stops well enough, if i fit rear disks ill need an escort mastercylidner modifying, i also run the risk widening the track, which is cruicile i dont touch due to the lowness and the size of the wheels
