fitted new intercooler over the weekend

right guys

fitted my new intercooler this weekend but had to make parts for it to fit and also modify some aswell for it to fit the problem i have now is the HKS cones had to cut one pipe for it to fit in as lack of space not sure if this was the right thing to do as now 1 cone suck in alot of hot air from the twin turbo\'s and i also need more air feed to the intercooler check pics and see  :confused:  :confused:  :confused:  :confused:  :confused:

if you have any advise on what i can do please let me know

Couple of potential problems I can see from the piccies...

1) Move the filter from behind the intercooler.  It\'ll be breating air from the hottest point of the IC and efficiency will plummet - it\'s a feedback loop!

2) you\'ll need some form of ducting to get the air to go through the intercooler.  as it is the bulk of the air will flow round it.  It\'ll probably work a little better than teh stock one but you\'re not going to get close to the possible gains like that.

yep i know but not sure where to move the filter that is behind the the intercooler as there is not much space left i was think maybe exstending the pipes so the cones could sit more near to the front bumper

Chris, its a very tight fit to extend the filters. You just have to sit there and try and try to get them sit right. The problem is the bonnett shutting properly. They both do go in front of the IC but the bonnet dont close.

Skinny filters are the way to go on these

[chris@yoco]

ok thanks for the help guys on the hunt for skinny filters

[davegttph1]

you noticed any improvement with the IC though? Do you have a PFC for before and after temps?

[chris@yoco]

have noticed better torque but really need to get more could air in there could feel lack of power going the down the motorway from normal and have got a PFC but not really sure how to use the thing lol

you might wanna try WGT they have a duct of their own design that comes with their uprated stock moun IC. They might sell you the duct seperately, worth a try.

Chirs ask ash to send you a picture of how i done his, it is the best setup i could come up with for him.

As a minimum have it rolling roaded to check you\'re not running lean.  Have the map tweaked if it\'s no longer safe.  Full remap might not be needed.
