Problem with intercooler hoses

[aposegil]

that looks lovely

isnt it better now no routing under engine etc

and the work looks bang on

why didnt you get the output end of the intercooler done at the same time

surely tight bends like that arent good

Because it has to fix on to the end of the standard plastic elbow that fixes to the throttle body. So there\'s no choice about that.

But a future project is likely to include a custom made elbow and re-configured output of the intercooler for smoother flow.

ive just ordered a greddy elbow for mine was only avout £70 including postage from the USA have to see if i get stung on import tax yet.

What with a rebuild, convertion to single turbo, purchasing wastegate for said turbo, numerous other bits and pieces, the intercooler modification, and now my exhaust needs replacing, i don\'t really have funds for the greddy elbow! In time, something will be done, but not on the top of my list of priorities!!

thats a nice intercooler mind what is it ?

have you removed your air con aswell ?

[nikp]

Air con is gone. The intercooler is part of the V-mount kit as sold by Dragon. The problem was, i had to get it modified for my single turbo because it was meant for a twin setup before.
