The developement car is a 1.9 with a BBM screw charger. With a 53mm pulley running 1bar on the standard intercooler it ran 242bhp and 230lbft. Once the intercooler was fitted I could run more ingnition advance and it went to 250bhp and 238lb ft. I then fitted a 50mm pulley and the power went to 260bhp and 250lbft. The charge temps were logged on all the runs, the max temp registered on the standard intercooler at 1 bar was 68 degrees C. With the front mount the highest temp registered 37degrees C. This was in a chassis dyno cell with 22 degrees C ambient temp. One of the main reason we've done the FMIC is to use it with the turbo kit, so it had to be good enough for 1.5bar

No problem, the discount will apply to everyone included in a group buy. The kit will come with instructions and pictures. It is quite easy to install, the only difficult bit is removing the rad. The core is 440mm x 220mm x 40mm, over twice the surface area of the standard one. The core is also a light weight fully brazed core rather than a heavyweight welded type which heat soaks in extreme conditions. The same core has been usued in other applications up to 2 bar of boost and pressure tested to 100 psi by the manufacturers!

If you can arrange a group buy of 5 or more, we can offer the kits at £620 each. The slimline fans work really well, the air flow is higher than the standard one.

The turbo kit consists of: IHI turbo with integral wastegate, cast exhaust manifold, turbo intake pipe, boost pipe, water fitting for the turbo, modified sump, dump valve with silicone elbow, oil feed pipe, exhaust downpipe to fit to the cat section(3 bolt flange), nuts, bolts, studs and gaskets. We have used this range of turbos on both the 20v and 16v engines and the spool time is minimal. The 8v head has smaller ports and therefore higher gas speed. I'm sure the spool up time will be even less than the 20v, which give 0.5bar(9psi) by 2500rpm, and over 1bar by 2800rpm.

Its still only single pass bottom to top, we've used the same design on the mk4 Golf and Octavia with really good results. It flows far better than the standard intercooler which has a really abrupt 180 degree on the bottom pipe at the intercooler. The pipe work is shorter aswell which helps.

We've moved premises recently so i admit we haven't been able to activley develope any new bits. Now we're settled we can concentrate on the good stuff agian! We are releasing a G60 turbo kit, hopefully before GTI international, based around an IHI turbo similar to the one we use on the 20v turbo kit. Should be a proper 230bhp at 1.1bar on a standrard engine, with the potential for 300BHP+ with different engine spec. I haven't finalised a price yet but it should be under £2000 for the kit, including a cast exhaust manifold. The idea of doing the kit is to try and offer something for people who don't want/can't have a 20v conversion but still want good power. Is it possible to get a "partial kit" with just the intercooler and brakets? Ans. We've only got full kits in stock, but i can split one if you let me know what you want.

Pictures will be posted as soon as we can do!

The kit comes with all the brackets to mount to the intercooler, the silicone pipework starts from a connector piece to the rubber hose from the plastic muffler box.

Jabbasport together with Pro-Alloy have relased a new front mount intercooler for the Corrado G60. The intercooler is mounted on the front of the radiator, and flows top to bottom rather than side to side, that way all the full width of the core gets air flow through the grille. The kit also comes with a new slimline radiator fan to take the place of the standard fan and cowling. All the pipe work consists of silicone hose and polished alloy tube. Initally the kits will be available at a discounted rate of £658 including VAT. Please contact Jabbasport on 01733 211779
