On eBay a universal Intercooler (small) will be the one bud about 60 quid then piping in top

You can buy my standard intercooler if you like, or you'll need the ToyoSports 2.25" Universal Intercooler kit + Extra clips, Silicone reducer for the bottom connection etc. Its quite fiddly

received the intercooler today the 90 bend are way too big can you cut them down because they have a lip on the end ?

 

[Jjay]

The lip creates the seal

I haven't chopped any pipes and pipes are run differently that that too...

 

[JE_GT]

you didnt fit yours though lol

 

[Jjay]

Nope but no pipes are cut are they?

 

[Jjay]

Saying that all the pipe work needs to be re done... Haha!

 

[JE_GT]

mine are cut, file the ends to make them smooth, wash all the metal filings off, then the silicone joiners clamp it to make the seal, dont really need a lip

thats what i was thinking the bends are bloody massive it only got to hold about 8-9 psi max. JE_GT not long untill the decat are you going to get a remap ? if you do get a nice little overrun on it and get some vids

Gona take it down this weekend I will get a remap but not yet, got other things to buy first! Cutting them is fine, just make sure the pipes are clean and no metal filings around etxlc

on the bumper i gather u have to pop out the strip in the middle of the bumper where the pipe will run. do they have any idea on how much a decat will cost

 

[Jjay]

Yeah it is... But only half the pipe work is there... All nice big pipes and then it goes into small piping again, so gonna re do it all soon and get new intercooler too whilst I'm at it

 

[sam666]

got a problem the bumper grill is hitting the side of the intercooler which is stoping me getting the bumper screw in underneath
