Title: Today
Post by: Mark on January 09, 2009, 22:15:56 PM
Just a tiny update as I have been busy this week

I went from the old boot mounted intercooler setup with one fan:

Also started into this wiring mess

Managed to get the lot relatively tidied - note the FPR at the right hand side

Im pretty excited about this.

Videos of you starting her up would be great.  Are you going to take it on a rolling road at some point?

How are you going to finish off the boot? It looks like you did a good job and will have some decent bootspace still.

Front mounted would mean pipes were too long.

There is good airflow into the boot from side vents, the fans are only needed in traffic.
