Not sure if you all know but you can move the radiator back a few cm's to make more room which means no cutting of the bumper, just did it on my mates car, bumper went straight on with no cutting

interesting, wish i knew this before i started, but then i used the crash bar as a mounting point and couldnt afford to make up any other brackets so was the only way for me..  :lipsrsealed:

i had to get some brakets made up to fix the intercoole but i had to take s**tloads of the bumber off to get it back on even had to make the holes bigger, but if i can move the radiator back ill get another bumper so i can have the vent grills back on.

well, its all fitted and up and running now.
what i have noticed so far is a slight loss in boost, intake temperatures are a lot lower which is a bonus and i am noticing a 3-4 mpg advantage..
im not sure if this needs to be set up on a RR now though.
i will take pics later of the install to see what you guys think..

A remap won't reduce lag, however you will be able to push more due to the more dense and cooler air into the engine aswell as aim for a more aggressive map for a k03, where you start to run richer and richer up the rev scale with the load to keep the turbo cool whilst maxing out the k03. Be intresting to see how the IC has effected your current power output.

to be honest, i havent really noticed a power increase, im not sure if my forge DV is leaking any boost.. i can blow through it and a little air will get past it.. is there a fix for this or what :tongue:?.. i think i should try my old Dv.
i am getting about 11 to 12 psi at the moment..
