Author Topic: Front mount intercooler - any good? (Read 2582 times)

For my make over i'm thinking about running american spec small bumpers (without the number plater mount) and running an exposed front mount under the bumper.

The intercooler I have is an Allard Corrado G60 one (http://www.allardturbosport.co.uk/pages/leaflets/Aluminium_Air_to_Air_Intercoolers.shtml - the one on the top right) Will this be a good size?

Coin on the floor is for size comparison - its a £1 coin.

Should fit nice i think?

That seems to be the size alot go for if they want a front mounted cooler.

Its a brand new Allard unit (cost £280) one of my mates bought it, paid a local garage to fit it and they screwed it up and it fell off the car one the way home and put a very small hole in the core - So i'm going to send it back to Allard for a repair!

Just ordered my boost controller today too!

Brings up an interesting question -- exactly what makes a good intercooler?
