Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Niall]

Just bought some welding cable, a junction box and a few ends and fittings. It's not a kit as such. Just all the bits I need lol
Also started bidding on a new better inter cooler. Should help with air temps plus I will be refitting the standard air box just not in the standard position

If your gonna get a new cooler i wouldn't use anything less than an AH motorsport fab one. I didnt believe the hype untill i saw a Forge cooler core compared to an AH one.

Yeah Except we don't all have a minimum of £250 to spend on a IC
Well, my Forge cooler turned up today. Its bigger than i thought

I thought it was the same height as the original R26 intercooler, just thicker and as you can see, its quite a bit taller so i had to fettle the cross member a bit to get it to fit but eventually managed! Also had to fettle the bumper a bit to fit it but nothing major

Took it for a drive with the laptop plugged in to measure air temps. To start with, temps dropped quickly as soon as i pulled away then suddenly shot up to about 40 degrees paired with a almighty whistle on boost.....air temperature sensor popped out! Need to make a plate to fit over it to hold it in place as it is only push fit and mine is rather worn/missing tabs.

Need to get it out for a nice long drive to see how much better it is!

Dum, not sure yet mate. Its been ridden to the end of my road and back so far lol.
