It's a load of messing around though isnt it, having to extend the wiring for the Throttle body being on the wrong side and all that  :undecided:

no you don't need to extend the throttle control wiring as the wiring loom goes that way, all you need do is separate it from the loom.

As DunnDeal12 said the Wellycooler is the way forward for a fraction of the price. Two of us posting the same link in one thread can't be wrong. I'm just buying all the parts needed to fit one. Alot of the true 300bhp K04 and 300bhp+ hybrid K04'd lads run these coolers and rave about them. Massive reductions and only 5 psi drop across the core you can't go wrong at twice the price!!!

When you put yours together take lots of pictures and write it up, I'm sure lots of people will appreciate it :wink:
