I take it there isn\'t one then!
Or people have not had any trouble fitting a front mount intercooler and stand uo rad. To me the power steering pipes are in the way for the intercooler and radiator to be fitted in front of eachother.
Any ideas?

I believe most people *bend* the pipes as needed to get them fitted.

you cn try fitting an electric one, think the saxo pump fits the rex ok bud, saves a fair bit of room.. there was a post on a guy doing it on here if you do a search should pop up :)

Thanks for the replies, think i\'ll try and bend them a bit, i would like to try and get the intercooler and rad as close as possible. At the moment there\'s about an 8" gap between them

Don\'t bury it under anything though, it needs to cool. You can kill the pump if the fluid overheats. I\'ve got a little oil cooler rad cable tied to the back of the intercooler. Just do a search for when i upgraded my FMIC.

Hi Shaunwil
What did you do just cut the steering pipes fit the cooler and jubilee clip some pipes to it? Or something a little more technical?

Basically I cut off the metal lines and installed rubber lines to a mini oil cooler that is sat behind the intercooler.
