Post by: numbnuts on August 21, 2007, 05:46:25 pm
I have been looking for a front mount for the 91 gtd and i think its going to ba a tight squeeze as the standard radiator is so large. What intercoolers are u guys running?  :)

Well thats it, the gtd rad is so big its hard to see what will fit in front of it and have the boost pipes squeeze round the sides :roll:

never a good idea to go to a smaller capacity rad. These engines need to shed a LOT of heat when they're working hard.  Audi 5000 turbo rads are about the same size as an A1 rad, but almost twice as thick and come with a very powerful fan
