starlybruiser Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 im stuck between two intercoolers, the autobahn one and the HDI one I want the hdi one but i dont like the fact you have to hack the hell outa your bumper to fit it The autobahn one obv dont need as much hacking but i dont like the pipe routes is there any way of fitting the hdi one which reduces the amount you have to hack?also whats the difference between the two kits, performance and quality wise?cheers starlybruiser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 From all the reviews I have heard, HDI without a doubt.One reason being it fits nicely with the crash bar in place, as opposed to the Autobahn which doesn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 definitely imo get hdi, get rid of the aircon and you don't have to cut to much plus the pipe work is much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 yea HDi is the better option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 The only thing that is putting me off cutting the bumper is doing a bad job and making it look getto lol whats the best thing to use to cut it and what sorta technique to see what needs cutting? cheers for the advise on what cooler to get, hdi it is lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 i used an angle grinder lol, that was ghetto, you can use a dremel i think. just take your time and don't rush it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_cl Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 i have the aircon removed and there is more space but i think you will still have to take quite alot of the bottom, do you have a lower splitter as this can hide alot: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
