Thanx

And how is the first impression.
It is difficult to do the install?

I didnt install it myself but apparently it wasnt to bad compared to others. A little bit of cutting required to the lower inner gaurd. This intercooler is highly regarded by others who have it and ive got no complaints. The quality is right up there and it has the correct shape cast end tanks. ei no sharp angles. The pipes do not go beneath the intercooler so you won't have any problems grounding pipes. I havnt measured the pressure drop across the core but its not very much and I didnt notice any increase in lag when it was installed. Although it was installed at the same time as the AVO silicon inlet and K@N pod filter aswell as HiTech/MSR 3inch exhaust from turbo.
This combo produced 191kw @ wheels in 4th using a Unichip piggy back ecu and VF28 at 21 psi boost. Note this boost was at the limit and not very safe (19psi is better with the VF28 on optimax) but it show's how well the set up flowed.

Motor is currently being rebuilt and Im going to use the same intercooler at about 400 to 450hp depending on my final turbo choice.

Cheers
Shaun

Today I install the FMIC of Avo. Not very difficult but it take hours to do it.
What I am wondering about the stock foglights, are they remain? I have to cut some (a lot) surrounding from the fog lights.

Hope someone can tell, maybe I have not install it correct
