oops! bidding on Ebay when under the influence of alcohol should be banned!

right then, yesterday after a few beers i decided to have a look for an
STi T/M intercooler for the MY00 UK turbo i bought last week.

I found 1 that looked good so put a few bids in on it & won it! I've just realised that it's actually for a bug/blob eye!

Now i'm not the sort of person that would decide to back out of the transaction so what i want to know is.....

Will a bug/blob eye STi intercooler fit on to a MY00 UK turbo & if
so what modifications am i goin to have to make to get it to fit(if any)?

Oh & i know that an STi intercooler on it's own isn't going to make any difference, so i've also bought a TD05 turbo!


thanks

I dont think you will have a problem with an STI TM intercooler, the engine layouts appear to be consistent throughout the range banging that turbo on though carries a serious smile risk so be careful ;)

[Gambit]

Think you will be fine also. Hmmmmm New turbo

[actionman]

yep! got a nice set of new parts already sat in my garage as well as a few more on order!

 

So far i've got

 

new TD05 16G turbo

used blobeye STi T/M intercooler

new Green panel filter

new 2.5" stainless decat downpipe

new silicone rad hose set

new STi 1.3bar header cap

 

Also going to order a 2.5" stainless up pipe, a walbro 255 pump, silicone turbo/intercooler/vacuum hoses & a new BOV. Still not sure whether to go for a recirc or vent to atmosphere

[Gambit]

I like your style and the shopping list Kudos ;)

[actionman]

i don't mess about when i decide i'm going to do something! although i am going to resist fitting everything until i've got all the parts & i can get it booked in for a remap!

 

Oh & i've also ordered a oil pressure sensor sandwich plate. Just need to decide on which o/p & boost gauges i'm going to buy! been looking at TIM

[Gambit]

Get these. Ones I have :D

Well these are mine ;)

[actionman]

too late! i've literally just ordered TIM O/P & boost gauges! told you i don't hang about! :D

[Gambit]

Good god I bet it took me longer finding the youtube video then it did you to make your mind up and buy them :)

[actionman]

yep! now i'm trying to decide whether to order the carbon vinyl wrap i've been looking at. Thinking of doing the storage tray lid, Stereo, heater, gearstck & handbrake surrounds/trim but don't know if it will just look tacky!

[Gambit]

Done well looks nice. But I always worry about it getting scratched :(

[actionman]

yep that's another thing, if i make a balls up of it! i'm not so worried about scratching it as i'm not the sort of person to have lots of clutter in a car & fill the trays up with coins, keys & general crap! everything is lept to a minimum! even in my work van i don't like to have crap everywhere

[Gambit]

Cant say the same about the van :D

But I do try my best to keep the car clean as I can but the Mrs and kids I spend more time clean it out after them.... That's an idea push bikes for them all ;)

[actionman]

i've got a Focus 2.0TDCi for the Mrs & little lad, they probably won't go in my scooby that much. The Mrs certainly won't be going anywhere in it without me! :D  The Focus has been remapped so it has more than enough power for her now!

 

It is harder to keep the van clean. If i'm out doing "spanner" jobs i take a spare set of clothes so i can get changed once i'm done. I've i'm out doing keys or other clean jobs i have smarter, cleaner work clothes.

[Gambit]

All my job's involve getting dirty just how I like it ;) and would be impossible to keep clean. But as long as I can stay on top of keeping the car clean that's all that matters :D
