Today's work for me
« on: 22 February 2009, 22:21 »
I decided to fit my Forge side mount intercooler today as I had a spare hour. It turned into a 4 hour job though lol

First of all I had to get the standard IC out which was an easy job once the bumper was off



A pic to compare the intercoolers



the gap in the wheel arch waiting for the Forge IC



I had to trim the plastic front panel to allow the end tank to fit



then the new intercooler showing it's face



Only problem is I broke a jubilee clip on the inlet manifold hose so I haven't been able to take it out and see if there has been any noticable difference but I'll give it a go 2moro once I get the new clip on there

I also fitted my LED indicator bulbs while the bumper was off

Here's a quick pic of the engine bay with the S3 covers fitted too
