That's one low MO' FO'!!!!

I'll third it! I managed to get one the other week, but haven't got round to fitting it yet. :? It should be running bout 190bhp with that spec, with Golf G60 Intercooler you should see some gain in power, not sure how much, but from what I've heard it makes the car pull a lot harder through the gears!

If I remember rightly, Bournmouth James' C was done at JBS in Chesterfield. If you give them a ring and speak to James, he should be able to give you a quote. There number is 01246 550400 I've had a bit of work done there and can't fault them.

Looking well :D

Alex Now I've really got to try it :lol: Once again thanks for all the replies and advice

Nice!!! Looks like somethin to practice, before I put the new clutch in :lol:

Alex, what do you mean double clutch? I've heard the expression before but never understood it? Phat The turbo and manifold would go well with the boost gauge I bought off you a while back :lol: I've just bought a Golf G60 IC with all the piping so can't wait to get that in. I've also got a full samco coolant set which I got in the group buy but haven't got round to putting them on. Plus some pipes will be useless due t the X-Flow. It's only an idea at the min, but I just thought it'a another option just incase the worse happens. Also it sounds pretty easy, and not too expensive. Well conpared to find a G-Lader and getting it re-built and flowed.

Cheers for the quick replies. A £1000 doesn't seem that much, seen as I paid £1200 for a G-Lader when I found out my other one was dead (It dropped the top bearing and knackered the internal casing, I wondered why it felt slow the first few months I had it?) I'm about to get my charger re-built in the next fortnight hopefully, but I always pre-pare my self just incase I get a call again saying "Sorry to tell you this, but it doesn't look good" If the worse happens I know now that I can just put a turbo in there. But I must admit to being partial to the low end pull of the G60. I got my mate to put his old Scooby WRX import (260bhp) in 3rd at 20mph and see what happened. I left him for dead for a bit but then he spooled up :oops: Thanks RACK

Not sure if this has been asked before, but how much work is involved in swapping the Charger on a G60 to a turbo? I've just seen the Car Phat has put on the for sale bit. That's one tidy engine bay! What bits would you need, eg manifold and turbo? It's just out of curiosity at the min, I'm def having a X-Flow conversion, so I know this would help with the space needed near the exhaust manifold. But am keeping it supercharged for the min (I just love the sound :D ) Just thought it would be something to consider next time I feel like something to do? Cheers RACK

:D :D I'm gonna have a go at fitting it this weekend

Managed to get hold of the pipe and elbow last night. :D

Henny, you're a god!

I know I keep adding to this, but don't really want to start the job not having all the bits. Is the pipe coming from the throttle body to the IC different on the C than on the golf? Cheers RACK

Anyone got an idea how much someone would charge to fit a Rallye intercooler? :oops:

Right, just been looking some posts and someone mentioned something about a cross over pipe from the IC to throttle body? Will the one I have on my C work or do I need the specific Golf Rallye/G60 one???

Cheers :lol: The funny thing is, I had the idea, then some lads lost a bit of bottle, but if I was gonna do it then everyone was doing it!! Plus I was the un-fittest there. It's murder not breathing out and keeping your chest expanded all night :lol: :lol:

As some of you know I went to malia a couple of weeks ago and came up with such a good fancy dress idea I thought I share it with you, this is from a bar web site. One for the ladies. I'm the chubby one at the front left leaning in with a cheesey grin. :lol:

No probs mate, I did a quick search on german ebay yesterday, but couldn't find a G60 one. But my uncle still has friends over there and, he knows of a big vw parts place so I'll see if I can call in a favour. If I can find one I'll let you know. (I should have done this to try and find myself one, but only just thought of it :oops: :lol: )

Mine was doing exactly the same a while ago. Check the vacume pipe that comes off the end of the throttle bodie and down behind the rocker cover. Mine had split slightly and I notice the mis-firing badly. Took me all of 2 minutes to fix and it felt back to normal. Just a quick suggestion.

Right, I picked the IC up last night and OMG!!! It's huge! What will I need to remove in order to get it on? Also I think I might have to re-locate my oil cooler due to it being infront of the rad??? Brian, you best bet is to look on here or other forums in the parts for sale sections. It took me a bit but I've ended up dropping on. My uncle speaks german so when he gets in from work I'll ask him to look on german ebay to see if any are on.

This might make me sound stupid (set myself up a bit there eh?) but, does the IC fit infront of or behind the radiator? I'm guessing in front? :oops: I'm still not sure as whether to do it my self or not. I used to do all sorts on my mk1 but am a bit scared with the C :oops:

I spoke to Darren earlier (cheers mate), and he said this IC would fit fine and would go well with the X-Flow. I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow so might have a go at fitting it at the weekend. Now, where are the fitting instuctions?? :oops: :oops: (Henny, HEEEELP!!! :lol: )

I've gathered, but if everything was easy, it just wouldn't be fun :lol: :lol: Thanks for the quick replies

Not sure bout the inlet design yet, G-Man is doing that bit. It's just that I need to know if it will fit with the x-flow conversion. Thanks for the quick reply Migs RACK

Seen as I'm planning a x-flow head, will the Golf G60 intercooler fit ok with the new head on it?
