Default free - but sad- upgrade!

spend 15 minutes straightening all the fins on yer Intercooler

ZERO spent - MASSIVE gains (maybe)

I reckon about 25% of mine were bent over and therefore blocked reducing the effectiveness of the intercooler...by 25%?

and it looks nicer

and it makes yer car feel good

You'll feel the back of your legs tomorrow

Which tool did you use...... my weapon of choice is toothpick without cherry.

It's a labour of love.....
