Intercooler Blocking radiator

[Pulsebassuk]

Im pretty much going to be getting a frontmount forge intercooler fitted by bill meister but was wondering this is going to be blocking pretty much my whole radiator. Surely this is going to be make my car run hotter as my rad wont be getting the air thats needed.

Also can some1 tell me where I can get a centre grille without the SEAT "S" its a honeycombe shaped grill for the Black Cupra Mk3. Ive done searches and the websites people pasted dont work anymore.

I wanna get that grill ya c without the "S"

FK automotive make one

not sure on who's a uk distributor though sorry

never found a standard honeycomb looking debadged grill tbh

the forge fmic covers only a partial amount of the radiator but there is a rather big gap from the rear of the cooler and the front of the rad, as the cooler sits infront of the crashbar. so the rad is plenty cooled

lots of people including me have a laguna dci fmic and that covers the whole visible part of the radiator and i personally have no cooling problems.

 

[PhilW]

Air con sits in front of the rad anyway.


There isnt a debadged honeycomb front grill for the ibiza.

Cooler sits behind the modified crash bar that forge send out with the cooler. As for cooling the rad never had any problems...

 

[acidstrato]

no it doesnt...infront...i do have one

 

[widdowd]

no it doesnt...infront...i do have one

Err... So do I and the Cooler sits behind the crash bar so it's pretty close to the aircon rad.... Take a look on the forge website if you don't believe me..

[acidstrato]

standard intercooler on 2.0T fsi's are behind the rad i think

 

[davidol]

yeah, forge do a dual intercooler upgrade for the new mk5 golf gti that keeps the original intercooler behind the rad and places a smaller one in front of the rad, fitment guide in this months golf +
