not if you're going to blame me if it all goes horribly wrong :tongue:

To be honest, if it was me (i'm lazy) i'd buy the forge happy in the knowledge i'll get everything i need in the box just to bolt it on, but the ebay way is definitely the most cost effective :afro:

Not that I've been looking into this, or anything! :smug:

Look at this guy trying to sell it for £920 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORGE-FRONT-MOUNT-INTERCOOLER-KIT-FITS-VW-GOLF-Mk4-1-8T_W0QQitemZ110174735746QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item110174735746&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

So is the forge the way to go then Ivor??


It's got my vote, but that doesn't mean to say it's right!!  A few people have got on ok with the 'ebay specials', but I, whether right or wrong, believe in buying quality, branded parts, myself.  ("Buy cheap, buy twice" is a motto I've lived with for quite a few years, now! ;)

the forge is the best bet if you want a straight forward with no hassle.
if you going custom/ebay the you want to make sure the core is no thicker than 60mm else you gonna be hacking your bumper to bits. even at 60mil its gonna a neen a timy bit of trimming.
60mil is also taking into account that you move your rad back by 10mil
