Might be a massive PITA to colour match it exactly, so it could be worth getting creative on the sills both sides.

i guess i just like having things to achieve Martin wrote:
The ecu is saying 1.4 bar, the boost controller and gauge are both saying 0.74 bar.
she is still a bit quicker than my mates 3L twin turbo m3 at 1.4 bar so can't grumble considering what i paid for her
I do plan on getting the inlet temps down and raising the boost a little, maybe push for around the 450 bhp mark, not sure why though as she is fine the way she is, even at 1.4 bar.
Do you stil have the old boost controller to test it? You might regret that when the tyres are cold and your foot gets a bit wayward Might just have to update it, seeing as it's been over half a year!

That's odd.
450bhp will be easily achievable with a few cooling adjustments.
Sat and read my old thread again at the weekend.
, will figure it out. ? will she take the same sized tyres that are on her now ? full tread is going to make a deeper tyre..... ..
.. 
(if there such a word ?) i reckon it will work well, especially as i have all the room i need because of the engine lid.?? 
£116 each including delivery, cam skill and black circle were £154+ each, bargain 
... I will buy black samco at a later date to keep the engine bay tidy but for fitting and mapping purposes i will use the hoses i already have..., he sold be a boot mount set up very cheap, i never used it but the pipes he sent me are going to make the charge cooler so much easier to fit, cheers bud 
that is a 500ml bottle of beer on top of the core...
@1.5bar+ keep us updated .. looks mega 2mad wrote:Love to see you hit 20c

HaHa, think you misread my post dude, 20" core
.. thought 20c was a bit optimistic be nice to see some numbers on what that puppy can do though ... Me being nosey, what boost+power were you running with the radtech in? Would be nice if there was a better core that still fitted in the SMIC location. Odin_S wrote:Interesting.
Good luck with your project
Shorter inlet pipe runs. Here's mine:

Nah! Top mount is where it's at.
Probably as short an inlet tract you can get!
Good luck with the project Martin

Would be easy on a CT20b, but more troublesome with a bigger GT3076 turbo i think.
Odin_S wrote:Nice! What's the chargecooler called? Or is it best to talk to Pete?
It's a custom core (2 cores welded together), not available off the shelf. I merely bought the core off Simon, bought a Radtech pre-rad and a Audi TT Bosch pump and handed it all to Pete to fit to the car. RedMR² wrote:Odin_S wrote:Interesting.
