Hello guys fitted my intercooler yestaday, and i must say its made a big improvent! car pulls alot harder and theres no heat soak atal! also i have a dead coolant temp sensor would this cause the car to over fuel and stop it from starting from time to time and would this restrict performance? ( it was doing this before the intercooler was fitted)

haha, fink we need to go for a lil play again ( on a private road ) noooooo more heatsoak for me!! any body got any idears bout the senser?????
well i scaned mine a while ago and got a coolant temp sensor fault, i cleared it and it came back! so i fitted a new one but i had no visable problems. it ran fine and started every time..

your intercooler looks great, nice job! seriously like the aston martins in your pics in the back ground, with your car on the ramp.
Loving the garage :D

Does the slam panel etc not need cuts made in it ? Where did you get it all from ?

yh u need to make cuts to the crash bar and the bumber but apart from that its straight forward! i got the intercooler from http://www.thsperformance.co.uk/ and the pipes from sfs hoses in luton. i called them up and told them wot intercooler i had and hew new wot hoses to supply!!
Did you need to trim the bumper??
