Well it looked like today was the day to change my intercooler.
Changing it was the easy part the pain was drilling the holes it took about an hour

ImageImageImage

The holes Image
ImageImageImage

Then stated to put it back together
ImageImageImage

Now all back together
ImageImageImage

Now it all done standing back and looking at it.
I think I need to move it up a bit good job they have put more than one hole on the intercooler Image

Looks good mate. Huge increase in power? :)

Needs to go up an inch or so doesn’t it. Is there enough play in the boost pipes to move it?

@barble
There’s plenty of play to lift it up.
I will probably have to cut more off here Image

But only about 10-20mm

Finally finished prepping and sanding my rear bumper ImageImageImage

Got the first bit of primer on
ImageImageImageImage

Now I think I need to send it to the paint shop for them to do any imperfections and paint it Image

Well after I plastic primed the bumper it didn’t look good enough for me to send it to the paint shop so I rubbed it down and filled it again and again.
So today I finally finished sanding and I sprayed 2k primer on it. What a difference that makes.

Now it’s ready for the paint shop

Nice work Sean. Looking back at your photos, the intercooler now looks much better. It’s turned into a rear mirror monster!

Thanks peter
I wasn’t going for the monster look. But now you have said it that’s all I can see 😂.
Was just trying to get a bit more get up and go out of this tiny little 1.6 TDI 😂

I imagine it will give you a few more horses mate. You’re already at 140hp aren’t you?
What next for engine mods?

Still think about a few ideas at the moment.
I have to look at the cost first peter.
I’m still a bit worried about the injectors.
I would love to put a TFSI or a TSI in but that is not cheap as I would have to pay someone to do it. That’s not cheap 😢
