Cheers Wiggs for the special needs photo
I will say the new intercooler has made a considerable difference in performance. It seems to have increase mid range grunt but only a dyno will show the figures. I haven't done enough miles to gauge the difference in MPG, when I've got through a tank I'll update the post.Club Exped trailer

Just had mine fitted on Wednesday
I wasn't *brave/foolish enough to do it myself, so had the local garage do it.
Not got my bill yet but they did say it took 'quite some time'

So Lee, I think we now need a drag race.
[and no, I don't mean queens].
How about up Garburn pass
Got my JE tune, K&N filter and now Alisport intercooler.
vroom, vroom, blinking vroom!

Ronp, got all the credentials for a pretty quick D3, but getting one over Ent whilst he is carrying more weight, ie coolant

As you well know Garburn pass is not a legal green lane and only a complete set of numptys would go over it in a convoy
It would be interested to see how the JE tune is in comparison to a modified Autologic tune. I still have the hybrid turbo to fit but I've held off to after I get back from my Chevy Chase style European Vacation just incase there are any issues. All being well the car should be pushing over 300BHP when I've finished. Bring on the V8's, petrol or diesel

On the same topic when we removed the old intercooler there was oil ingress on both sides, is this normal? Does it indicate that turbo seals are passing oil?Club Exped trailer
