Just Fitted!!!

[Shaun]

Hi again,Just completed fitting my RADTEC frontmount intercooler and race spec radiator :!: Took me 2 hours approx to get everything in,but had a niggly problem the boost hoses from the turbo which took another couple of hours.But popped up to see Keith at RADTEC and he's got it sorted :!: Piece of cake to bleed the rad,water temp and oil temp are as normal.Best thing is boost has improved slightly :!: And for all of you that fitted a frontmount and didnt notice a difference straight away,You've got the WRONG one :!: Mine saw a difference throughout the rev range and third gear was totally different,where as before fitting it,it seemed to back off in third,now it just wants to pull :!: :!: :!: And NO LAG after sitting in traffic :!: I'm well pleased with it :!: :!:

Does that one let you keep the aircon, if you have it?

 

[Shaun]

Yes mate,all the aircon is still in place :!: All you have to do to fit it is remove your old top mount intercooler and original radiator,then it fits in the radiator mounts :!: :!:

 

[krikra]

oh would I like to see some pictures of this one!!

 

[Shaun]

The Web site address is www.RADTEC.CO.UK. :!: Ok mate :!:

[Mart]

I think this is it

 

[Shaun]

Thats the one Mart :!: :!: :!:

 

[Mart]

Shaun, do u have any of the front of the car?

 

[Keira]

One thing i hate about that kit is the way they use the standard turbo outlet pipe, just looks horrible

Still, if it works it works 8)

 

[Shaun]

Cheers for posting the pics Mart :!: No mate no pics of the front of the car because you can't see the intercooler from the front as i have retained the aircon radiator which sits in front of the intercooler :!:

Thanks again Mart :!:

 

[Shaun]

I suppose you could always change the outlet pipe later on for a Forge outlet pipe :!:

 

[Keira]

Think that would be to long ?

Besides you'd have to get hold of one, dont think forge sell them seperately.

 

[Shaun]

I'm sure I could Coax Keith at RADTEC to come up with something :!: :!:

GTiRsalter,

Do u have a pic with the bumper on? Very stealth!

 

[Phil_d74]

How much was the kit?
Looks like a really good solution, but did I read that there was some technical issues with this conversion though?? :roll:

 

[GTiRsalter]

The kit was £800 with new fat rad and fan,
i will take a pic of the front when its light outside
