Intercooler upgrade
Looking to fit a p1 intercooler to a uk 99,i allready have samco hoses fitted to original cooler.Will this be a straight swap and be sufficient enough for further mods to take me to around the 310-320 bhp mark.
Bigger turbo is on the way along with ecu-map.
Cheers in advance ...

Its just a cost issue,if i can get nearly the same end result by using a p1 intercooler thats fine by me.The cost of an aftermarket tmic is going to be about 3-4 times dearer...
I just need to know that it will be a worth while swap,and be man enough.

Cheers for replies guys,it seems that it will be o.k for modification plans,but what about fitment.Will this be a straight swap or is there anything else needed ie.pipework,y-piece,brackets etc..

I have just fitted an STI intercooler (imagine the P1 will be the same) to an MY99 - went straight on no probs think the only real improvement is from the STI Y-pipe
