Was out tinkering this afternoon so thought I\'d snap a shot of my new I/C setup.Radiator stays in the stock location,aircon has been removed(undertray removed for picture).

Seems to work extremely well so far with both low inlet and water temps.Have yet to see how it performs on track but hopefully should keep the car nice and cool.....

This is virtually the same as my set up except i have a preformed 4in chanel down the inside of each chasis leg which feeds the air intake and the other side of the rad with fresh clean air.

I get a tad over 80deg water temps on a hard drive chasing down the mway and 24 ish deg charge temps. ( Not 100% sure how accurate my ACT gauge is yet but seems pretty good)
These water temps have been very very stable and controlable and the charge temp is good as well.

Sorry forgot to say im using a trust fmic and stock rad

Sounds great Scott! do you have any pictures...?

Rad is a WGT racing item and the intercooler kit is from the US.I\'m getting similiar water temps to you and inlet temps in the low 20\'s on a steady run.When the car was on the Dyno pack Pip mentioned the temps stayed down so I\'m really pleased with what I\'ve done.

A vast improvement over the OE intercooler,I was seeing massive heat soak with the stock intercooler when out on track and the power loss was really noticable.
