Got a bit of money save and I'm thinking of changing me intercooler to a bigger front mount i think that sitting in the bumper would look cool and a better turbo has anyone done these modds before not sure what to buy? :undecided:
-
Forge motorsport do a good front mount, its about £700 tho
-
If you upgrade your turbo, you will want to buy a new bi-pass valve, as the turbo size changes its settings. If you buy the valve type you wont need to take it apart to modify it, but the piston type is a bit quicker (so forge motorsport told me anyways). around £100 inc vat and del.
Dan :cool:

Thanks blokes! not so sure about the intercooler at that price I'm going to have a look about see what cars have a front mount that i can mod because I'm an ALU tig welder i can make the brackets to suit :wink: :wink:
-
I'd be interested to know if you find anything and what car it comes off :smiley:
-
The tdi 150 has a front mount, try this? The problem with most front mounts is that they wont fit behind the MK4 bumper :angry:
-
id be interested in some pipe work for a fmic if your taking orders :wink:

Yeah mate i looked at one of these on a show room forecourt bloke who worked their thought i was mad. Just been offered a KO3S turbo supposed to be 180bhp is this correct and would it fit OK :undecided:

Have you found a front mount that looks a good fit :drool:

Probably not what you're after but, Awesome's 300bhp 1.8T is onyl using the Forge wing mount intercooler, so it must be ok and they're around £400 IIRC.
