Intercooler layout for rotated turbo
Hi all,
so I’m going rotated as aiming for 500bhp, it’s a gc8 and at the moment I have a front mount already installed.
im keeping the intercooler but obviously need to customise the pipes. What is the most efficient way to run them? I also have a rotated inlet manifold.
also if anyone has any pictures and pipe sizes that would be great so I can start ordering the joiners etc

Flip intercooler and run pipes behind headlights.. You will need to trim some bodywork to fit.

Adam Rooferman you have built a Awesome car.
looking at your photos I have noticed that you have 1 radiator fan fitted. Have you had any problems with coolant temps with 1 fan fitted.

Made no difference... Ran it that way when it was a road car aswell.
