Title: Intercooler and Turbo
Post by: GTI-T on 12 March 2006, 17:11
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:

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.

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:

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.

It's a good idea if you can find a slim intercooler

It's a good idea if someone can find a slim intercooler to sit in the lower front bumper
