Default 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.

thats perfect thanks, so basically the bumper bar would need cutting in order for the pipes to pass through

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.
