Hi mate, what sort of pipe work are you using for your inetrcooler? I used humped hoses on mine that lets the pipe work move, apperantly if the pipework is rigid it can cause the charger to twist and sieze!

Yeah heard the horror storys. Ive bought an ic fitting kit of ebay which uses alloy pipe and silicone joiners, and il prob put a support off the outlet pipe to take any weight off it.

looking good there buddy. i'll second that "unpimping" the car is by far the best thing you have done yet - it looked... well... very chav! - glad you have seen sense, it looks much better now.

 

unsure about the grille - but can't pass judgement until it's fitted i guess.

 

glad things are coming together for you now - hope you get it all sorted soon :)

looks very good, are you keeping those headlights up front or going back to standard?

[Jim 1]

Nice work, it does look better unpimped but damn do those screw chargers make a right noise.

In all honesty you do not notice it too much on part throttle just cruising along, the corrado is well sound deadened so windows up its hardly there, window open and its LOUD again.

Just need a few parts to finish. Waiting on a BBM head flange from g-werks and then its back on the road after 3months!

 

Heres the cold feed taped into the brake duct for trial fit
