My Custom Intercooler Installation - Diesel ZT
Just finished installing my front mounted intercooler yesterday. My original factory intercooler had developed quite a bad leak and needed replacing, so rather than going for another second hand replacement, I decided to go for a front mounted one just as I quite like the look of them. Wasn't aiming for any performance gains but if it helps improve performance then that's a bonus
Was quite a bit of work and pretty fiddly but managed to get it all to fit. Seems to have made a noticeable difference, engine just feels like it's breathing better and more responsive, but some of that may be due to the boost pressure I was loosing with my old intercooler leaking. Taking it out on some proper test runs soon |
