AUQ Intercooler

[MooRzy]

Fitted my intercooler on my AUQ. Cost me £150 all in:
550 x 160 x 2.25" cooler - £65
1 x 45 deg ally elbow, 3 x 90 deg ally elbow, 1 x 90 silicone elbow, 500mm silicone straight - £60
Cupra r inlet manifold - £25

No need for cutting bumpers or crash bar as it's only a slim cooler and I kept my fogs. No need to go for massive intercooler, this one is no more laggy than the standard setup. I ran pipes from the pancake pipe too so installation was fairly straight forward (but my battery is in the boot, which makes it much easier)

I just need to raise it up slightly so it doesn't bend the bumper down and I need to replace the piece of standard pipe to make it neater.

I couldn't find a lot of info on this so I hope this helps.

Very nice, what did you do with battery? Guy was asking the other day!

Did you make a pic of the intercooler internal design?

Nice

I didn't no. It's a bar and plate intercooler.

Battery is in the boot, in the spare wheel well

I meant, and I think her meant like what cables/connectors he used etc.

Hi,
Is it possible to link where you bought the parts from?

All the popes and hoses are just generic.

I just a big old cable. I think it was 0+ gauge. I ran it from the boot to the glove box and relocated the fuse box there. I had to get rid of the cd changer though

Did you paint the cooler yourself?

Yeah just a light spraying with a rattle can. I hate the big shiny silver look

Had my car mapped today, made 240 HP and 287 lbs ft. So I guess the cooler works

 

[LouisAUQ]

Nice. Who mapped I and what mods do you have?

 

[MooRzy]

R-Tech

Fmic, decat turbo back, air filter, 007p, sfs TIP

 

[LouisAUQ]

Great numbers, I'd be very happy with those.

 

[LouisAUQ]

As you've fitted a cupra r inlet manifold does this mean that you can run a TIP suitable for the Cupra R which would not normally fit on the non R's?

Nope, that depends on turbo inlet (k04 vs k03). Inlet manifold only changes opening to other side. IC routing becomes much easier with it.

 

[LouisAUQ]

Ah that makes sense, thanks!
