Nice mate what boost you running ? When I had my amd remap is was going up to 2 bar boost , now since r tech it is 1.7 , it is weird how they can make more power with less boost!

Nice when you took ac out was it a difficult job ? Did you follow any guides at all? I am wanting to take mine out and expose the intercooler and paint it a nice lime green!

The pipe on it was severed so no gas in it so i just unbolted it and cut the pipes out. Looking to get the shorter aux belt and remove the compresser .

Just go wellycooler! This should be a straight fit and use S3 pipes to join cooler to original pipework as it's basically a cheap Chinese s3 cooler. But it doesn't so this is a poorly designed cooler

Aha dont...iv been reading up on them all morning. Is a shame to waste the other cooler though as with the darkside hoses it owes me 300quid lol.

What’s wrong with the intercooler I’ve got ? Is there any proof there bad ?
A few of these issues with the Chinese s3 coolers.

Yeah it took me a long time to decide. But I’m happy with the set up. Good ride quality and decent drop without scraping. Having the new springs and shocks really transforms the car.

Here’s my graph looks like it pulls good all the way to the redline
, I’m sure these intercoolers are fine if you just add oversized hoses :)

Got to put tuning my car onhold at the moment as ive just chopped in my mrs focus zetec s 1.0 and bought her a focus st diesel so il need to do some visual mods on that first to make it look better as our daily driver lol :(
