Hi

Just purchase a front mounted intercooler! Does anybody know the best place to buy the pipe and hose required? and can any one tell me where to put the dump valve afterwards ? All help appreciated.

Dont let the wife know

 

i think harvey can get the pipework etc from his hybrid intercooler supplier but its around £300ish i think as someone i know has asked him to get this

 

I use a company in Isleworth middlesex called "Think Automotive", they supply silicone hoses in a universal form, i.e. various straights, bends, joiners, jubilee clips all in whatever diameter you need I know its not quite the same,but it cost me less than £100 when i fitted a front mount on my old Astra,so should give a rough (very) idea of costs

Dont have thier phone no. to hand though,sorry.

Also,they are 10mins from me so would have no idea if they do mail order

Hope that helps

The dump valve needs to be fitted at the throttle body end of the pipework. Fitting though varies depending on which dv you have. If you have or are buying new,it should come with full instructions for positioning etc

 

It was £250 to be exact Steve and that was because I was able to sell a core only and have the fitting kit left. The FMIC kits are £580 inc VAT, complete with fitting kit, instructions and delivered.
