Lol! Maybe i should weld the doors shut, take the glass out and drive around looking like the General Lee?! DIY solution in progress. Just need new-s/h glass. How much did your TMIC cost all together?

I got it for £270 with dumpvalve and pipes. then I had to get an STI 7> Bracket (turbo side) a Samco 52mm 90deg pipe. then just the cost of fitting. I would also recomend getting The new strutbrace, after driving without one and then re-fitting the new one it really does tighten up the front end. All I need to do now is sort the under tray/splitter.

Come have a look if you are around for a bit.

I'd love to cause since having owned mine since the end of last year ive never been around for a meet or had something else on. Im only back for a few days unfortunately to attend a funeral then back to Germany.(Wed). Back home on the 31st Sept though for two weeks so THE ONLY plans ive made is to go to the meet at the begining of Oct!!

It would be nice to see how the 2.5L compares to the 2L. Hopefully I'll have a new clutch by then aswell!!

How much room do you have between the IC and the bulkhead? Look at my side pics, It might go in. I have seen a pic of a brace that goes infront of the IC but cant remember where

I think youd be better off with a Front Mount and a strut brace.

that looks very useful, i would go for that over a front mount intercooler all day, what boost are you running through that TD05/06???

looking at the brake res it would be a good idea to take the plastic bit off the top and cut it down a bit.

also if you cut the tag that joins the 2 water pipes together you will be able to get a little more clearance by moving the top water pipe forward.

if you don't mind me asking how much was the cooler???

That is the Whiteline Logo but I cant find it on there site. I need to pack the back between the brace and the bulkhead because it rattles a little bit. I should be able to stuff some foam between to sort
