Thread of the week intercoolers haha
« on: 04 August 2012, 10:21 »
Who thinks someone should take the time to gather really good constructive info on the 1.8t based on the front mount intercooler?

Ie. you could go ths or forge?
You could build a wellycooler (I think thats how its spelt)
You could buy a toyosports kit off ebay..

All these will stop these threads which understandbly coming up as theres soo many different ways to get a front mount set up done.

And just for those who want my experience, I bought a toyosports intercooler off cully (Aka Andrew)
Here is a picture of the this fitted with some effort and the pipes wrapped in balck vinyl



Here is a picture of the THS intercooler I picked up for £350 off Chris.



Hopefully if its a good thread and people can spend the time with good pictures of their set ups without the bumper on etc and showing the different routes used we could sticky this for future use.

No thread hi-jackers please.

Hi toby, is that the same pipework as I will need?
If so would you possibly have a link or anything?
Cheers

Ok did you buy all the pipework seperately then?
Also will I need 2.5" or 3" pipework as the inlet and outlets are 3"?
Thanks for your help
