  1. now i have the better cooler thats alot more free flowing and bigger i want some real temp measurements from it so that i can see how efficient it is.



    i will do this by having a sensor before and after the cooler,this will give an idea of what the coolers doing.



    i tapped into the elbow thats just ONE INCH away from the turbo outlet.i used a bicycle valve and silcone to make a feed for the sensor. then made my sensor "body" out of an old vacuum t-piece.

    this sensor will give an accurate view of temps from turbo BEFORE the cooler does its bit.



    next up i need to fit the AFTER cooler sender......


  2. so today i fitted up the new intercooler and also the new rad , all with custom brackets.




    first i had to angle grind the old mounts away / unbolt them

    intercooler was to big,so i chopped the core very slighty and made it fit very well.

    intercooler pipes are bit bodged for now as i used of cuts to make up new pipe.



    hopefully my cooling issues are sorted
