No problems bud, chargecooling rocks, I had a header tank with a cage in it, so if you were doing a 1/4 mile run you could stuff it full of ice to chill it without risk of the ice blocking the pipes....It works really well, and your right it is more responsive. Get a nice big header tank though, otherwise when you are sitting in traffic it warms up too much as I found out. Here's a pic of mine in my Mk1 before I fitted a larger header tankKip's Engine.jpg[/attachment:1sze9kl4]

very nice set up 8) same charge cooler as mine but much better presentation than mine :( oh well something to aim for.

 

cheers for the tip on the ice mesh, never thought about that, I am using 1:1 g12+ and water which seems to keep the temps ok for now but definetly need to get a bigger resivour

Ok been a while... well bought a house (shell of a house, with a massive garage!) back in Jan 2010 and spent the last two years renovating the house. Complete new floors, walls, Ceilings, wiring, plumbing, kitchen, bathroom the lot, but sadly ignoring the Corrado.

 

Now the house is done, well except for that one room :) I'm moving to kitting out the garage and sorting out the ageing Corrado body work.

 

I'm getting a friend to replace the O/S complete sill, but I'm also after the following if anyone has them going (all late spec and have to be in reasonable dent, rust free condition, if they are already in Aqua Blue even better!) : -

 

- Front Bumper

- Front Slam Panel

- O/S Front Wing

- N/S Front Wing

- Bonnet

 

I was looking at the fibre glass panel threads that appeared recently again, this always seems to pop up and then fizzle away, but if anyone knows of a good supplier I would be tempted to spend my bonus :)

 

By the way has anyone else had this happen when using the BBM solid front mount : -
