make sure where you have moved the rad back that you aint got it rubbing on anything my was and its worn a hole in a air con pipe not good lol
 
after all this talk of intercoolers, what are the core dimensions of the original smic on the cupra? whats the total volume of the original, a laguna, the ths and the forge? it's really interesting me at the moment- it seems to be a hot topic!
 
what are the dimensions of this cooler and the original cooler?

i have a merc cooler sitting in my shed waiting for our car! but mine looks a bit on the long side!! lol its probably the same hight and depth as this ths cooler but mine looks longer and looks nice and standard (not chromed or polished)

p.s. i got it for free! hence why we will fit this and not any other cooler! lol
 
I have a universal intercooler which is pretty much the same, only difference being my inlet and outlets are at the bottom not in the centre, I think the one i have looks better than the ths one but is the same dimensions here is the link to ebay where i bought mine

i have done quite a few logs on this once before mapped and after mapped with k03S turbo.

With outside temps of 15degrees c, i see max 30degrees c and i have just done one last week when it was 4 degrees c outside and the max intake temp was 18degrees c. That was pulling 174g/s through the MAF. As for pressure loss as it is only a smaller cooler and i used 2" piping there is non compared to the standard cooler. Hope this helps you guys.

Oh plus when i fitted it it feels like it pulls a hell of alot harder all the way through the rev range.







Oh and very subtle i know.

Looks good, what was you getting before temp wise mate ? plus ebay link aint working :)
 
Around 50-60 odd depending on how long id been out for and how many runs i had done before, heat soak is a bitch, lol humm dunno about the link works fine on mine, just type in universal intercooler into ebay search then, theres loads, there classed as small fmic's.
 
Would also be interested to no if the people with the blue samco hoses on show on the ths type 1 cooler are they still as clean as in the pics after afew weeks of driving in the great british weather ?
