Sounds loud and looks like it picks up quick. Nice :mrgreen:

Might have to heat wrap the clutch cable like we did with the throttle cable.

I reckon you should just go a water to air cooler and be done with it. Will look much more stealthy.

if it didnt come with an intercooler, it would definatly have gone water to air..
but i used what i had...


not much left to do now, battery box is mounted in the boot.

tomorrow im going to make up a shroud for the pod filter to try keep in line with whats on the engineers report..

i might remove the bumper on the weekend to paint it up to match the rest of the car and im thinking about spraying the intercooler and exposed pipework flat black to make it less obvious..??

im currently waiting for a boost controler so it can be pushed up to 10psi..
then start looking at getting it dyno tuned...
