Hi All,

After reading ... > ghettofabulous intercooler installation - http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=7909

I decided to fit a Saab 9000 intercooler in my disco ..

Before anyone does the same .. Read on ...

The thing is huge .. To get it in i had to move the radiator back 2" and up 1" onto the chassis tubes that the steering arm is bolted through. So after lots of fettling, swearing and bracket fabrication the rad was moved . I also had to remove the bit of bodywork that the aircon condenser would sit it. and fiddle with the whole lot so the bonnet would close. . .

To say it was a close fit would be an understatement ...

I am well happy with the results it pulls so much better through 1700 - 3000 rpm .. and along with a new turbo and manifold the air flow / boost has never been better.

The project cost me £15.00 for the cooler and about 10hours of my time on the weekend....

Got some pics of the install which i will post when i find my usb lead ..
