yes thats the one im also going for
think you need ac out and rad moving back a little but a great cooler for the price

 

[Danturbo225]

Really need the ac out? I want it still lol or can I go a little smaller?

I fitted the pro alloy fmic on my old Ibiza, and Ibiza Alex on here made me some brackets to mount the ac and rad back so it would all fit in! Maybe worth asking him?

 

[Danturbo225]

Any pics of the brackets? I'll get them made up

 

[arron2004]

Just had a look through my photobuket and I didn't take any ffs!

Just pm Ibizaalex I've used a set too when I fitted my pro alloy cooler

I have that cooler.

If you want to keep your AC then you will have to cut away a serious amount of crash bar, even with pushing the rad back im not sure it'll fit as you'll have to remove a lot of bumper as well.

For something that big you need to remove a lot of things.

I have no aircon, rad pushed back on the drivers side, and bumper trimming on the passenger side exit. I had to remove the struts that strengthen the bonnet catch, some excess metal on the sides of the cooler as well. No my bonnet only shuts when i throw it closed because i still havent made up fixing to keep the bonnet catch rigid.

This cooler is WAY bigger than the pro alloy one, what turbo are you going for?

Pics of the fitting in my project diary.

you will most likely have to cut up the crash bar and the bumper as very one else has said and get some of these from alex@backdraft to move the drivers side of the rad back

How much are they?

As phil said a LOT of modification is needed to make these fit, modified crash bar, modified slam pannel, ac removed, rad moved back & bumper trimmage. Also need to fabricate a bracket to support the cooler and the bonnet catch as said.. This is what I done..

think alex charged me £45, easy to fit now my i/c is not running on the piss
