cheers ralfandcarol thats what i done in the end cut out the middle section of front member!! if you mount the intercooler at the top from the cross member the cooler sits too low for the pipework!

Just got to finish triming the bumper and its all done appart from my BOV i got to get welded into the pipe work!!

I,m also gonna get hardpipes powdercoated blue...i think..and i am sure the intercooler was fitted up onto cross beam on my mates my99..using an autobahn intercooler..ie beam was trimmed not cut out completely.

Maybe he had a different kit???

Thanks

Im looking to pass the facelift intercooler part of the group buy back over to Matt33, he is getting hold of his suppliers now

We will be looking an an Apex coilover group buy in the near future. We have sold hundreds of our kits and they go down very well. We sent a set out to a Scooby owner (RHH on here) for evaluation and long term testing many moons ago and he reported back recently saying alls still good and that hes more than happy with them.

He said he was happy to give his views and opinions on them. He is completely unbiased and was chosen because I needed someone with a high level of track and suspension experience in order to get usable feedback. He was recommended to me my John Felsted, I assume many of you know John.

How are you all fitting your dump valves with this kit? I'm looking at putting mine on and I have 19mm outer diameter on the DV and 37mm outer diameter on the intercooler kit. What do you use to connect these? I cant fine a reducer that caters for this.

Borat, either buy another dump valve to suit, or if you know of a local machine shop, then get them to turn you a little alloy reducer down, then you can buy 2 bits of staright hose to fit.

I think Forge valves are bigger in diameter.
