So I had to wait in today for a long awaited delivery, so as I have not had chance, I thought I would fit my Airtec intercooler.
So first off, I removed the original:-
Pretty straight forward to do, once the cover is removed, and all the brackets removed as well.
Size difference is quite suprising, the standard cooler looks bigger than it is I think, because of the cover...
After a bit of a clean up of the brackets, I thought they would look like an eye sore with the new snoot boots, and tried to clean up a bit underneath as well, I fitted the Airtec in place, with a bit of adjustment of the brackets and a clamp that was in the way, its fitted perfectly...
Removed the original air divertor from the under bonnet and checked on closing, but everything seems okay, you can just see the AirTec logo through the bonnet scoop
I have checked for leaks and all seems okay, you can hear a nice suck when reving, so is definitely working as it should. I will feel a lot better too and not worried as much when putting my foot down in this weather.
After a brief moment after finishing it, the parcel I was waiting for then arrived, it was a welcome sight
Hooraahhhh!!!!
So I could not wait, it felt like Christmas and I continued to open it up to have a look...
On first impressions, if these are budget coilovers then I would love to see the quality of more expensive ones, as these seem top notch to me. However the proof is how they work, so that will follow once they are fitted
