right

Picking up an intercooler off a mate tomorrow night - need to have it tested as it was taken off his Bora about 18 months ago by VW

Just won the one on Ebay which is down the road from me for under £30 so will make arrangements to pick that up at the weekend

Bring back the power!!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
good work rhys :afro: hopefully you should be happy now and the derv should be okay for stage 2  :wink:

Can you not run a large FMIC infront of the radiator, or am I being completely stupid?

You can there are 2 options for us dervs. They are around 600-700.

One is Forge and Im sure Rhys will tell you the problems he has had with his Forge product.

And the other is Allard, and that is OVERKILL!

Also FMIC is only really needed if you're going hybrid turbo which I'm not

quick update

picked up one of the intercoolers last week, cleaned it all out on Friday (fair amount of oil and rubbish in there!) and left it standing full of water over the weekend as at the time I couldn't find any suitable pipe to cap the ends and pressure test it......

Came back into work this morning to find that the intercooler still had all the water in it! :smiley:

Found some suitable pipe this morning so hoping to pressure test it this afternoon

All being well I'll be fitting it tomorrow..............although its currently sat on a radiator drying out  :laugh: :laugh:
