TheKeymeister Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 My intercooler is on its last legs, if you poke it too hard it crumbles in all the wrong places, as my turbo is in need of attention due to passing too much oil I thought it would be a good time to replace the intercooler.....I'd love to go VNT and Allisport gigantic intercooler but can't justify the price unfortunately! A quick check on eBay throws up a 115mm thick Chinese intercooler upgrade for not much money, I'm not expecting amazing quality but for £80 it seems worth a punt. It does look like it would be interesting to fit due to its width though. I see allisport do one for over 5 times the price that is a similar design, I imagine its what the Chinese based theirs on. Has anyone had a go with either one of these and was it much of a pain to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy-Novice Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 i got one fitted, works well enought and as you said, right pitfa to fit. need to remove rad surround and cut lips off each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKeymeister Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Don't happen to have any pics of it fitted do you? I'm happy enough to cut the lips off the rad frame, got a spare kicking about if it all goes wrong, but does anything else need a trim?

Landy-Novice Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 mines not the best example but i also had to cut off the top mount that sits on the chassis for the panhard rod mount for lhd vehicles but mine is a bit of a mongrel. also trimmed an inch off cowling to clear it. note welds, tidier in real life.
