My advice is RE:worx V mount.

It\'s about Â£950 for the cores. The thing I think that is better than a lot of V mounts is the intercooler sits in a more upright position and so does not suffer from as high intakes as some but also runs very low water temps.

I\'ve got one and I think it\'s one of the best mods I\'ve done to my car.

do you have any pictures of it, a few would be really good

Here\'s a couple - not great but hopefully will give you an idea:Thumbs-up

yeh, thanks for the pics, seen a couple mounted like that before and always wondered what angle the rad is mounted at.

looking at them pics it almost seems vertical??

and no ducting?

Or room for an induction kit :3Confused? I\'d be interested to see what that looked like finished?

The radiator is at a shallow angle but trust me water temps never go over 80 degrees in normal driving and not more than high 80s on track.

There\'s no needs for any ducting temps-wise. Max Taylor runs this same V Mount on his Nippon Challenge car and Ring car with no probs.

I\'ve got an HKS Super Power Flow on there no worries - there\'s bags of space!!
