Welly cooler behind standard bumper

[ReadieeVTS]

Granta, you are a legend!

Would be good to see a pic once it is all piped up. Glad it can be done, looks like im gonna have to place the order soon.

+1 last FMIC I bought was a THS performance one at £500 for my last golf. I don't really want to buy another at that price so will be good to see what the finish comes out like!

Right lads all fitted and car driving again. Feels a bit more torquey and quite happy tbh. Had to chop quite a bit of the bumper but did not have to cut any parts of it off which I did not want to. The vents will go back some point this week once they have been trimmed, they might need glueing in or some self tapers to secure them then that should put it back to the oem look !

What size are the inlet/outlets?

I mocked up my 700x300x76mm wellycooler with 3" in/outs and not a chance would a stock bumper go on.

[Granta Gti]

Ins and outs are 63mm (2 1/2) and just about fit. I have the smaller welly cooler.  The link is on the first page.

ahh, I cant comment on the 2,5" version.

like so:

That is huge, I can see why you can't get that behind a bumper!

This is mine.

Granta, where did you get the brackets from or what did you use to make them?

Also, which hoses did you use to connect the hot and cold sides? I am going to be using the list that Rio has put up but I am assuming the connections to the IC will be different since it is narrower than the larger one.

Thanks

They are just pipes that I flattened and drilled holes through so the still have a little bit of flex. Will see if I have any pics of them. Bass mine on rios so you will be fine. I think his has 3" in and outs.
