April 21, 201312 yr right then, yesterday after a few beers i decided to have a look for anSTi 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 & ifso 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! thanksCraig
April 21, 201312 yr 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 ;)
April 24, 201312 yr Author 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
April 24, 201312 yr Author 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
April 24, 201312 yr Author too late! i've literally just ordered TIM O/P & boost gauges! told you i don't hang about! :D
April 24, 201312 yr Good god I bet it took me longer finding the youtube video then it did you to make your mind up and buy them :)
April 24, 201312 yr Author 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!
April 24, 201312 yr Author 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
April 25, 201312 yr 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 ;)
April 25, 201312 yr Author 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.
April 25, 201312 yr 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
