well the intercooler has now been fitted and looks hot
hints to fit a typhoon cooler (use fvp brackets) and you have to drill holes also move the horn (using headlight bolt on the side) i would not say its a walk in the park to fit a bit fiddle etc well worth the effort in the end here are some pics

Looking good Matt.
I noticed a BTA sticker on the cooler in one of the pics. Is this a stock Typhoon cooler, or a BTA aftermarket? Looking good, can't wait to check it out tomorrow night at the meeting. |

Sounds promising Matt. The amount of BAs that come to work with the rear diff bush busted is high to say the least.
