Mart,
when my car was first in let spec it had phase 3.5. i made a i/c out of styra fome to fit perfect behind the gsi bumper with no mods! got forge to make it, fitted spot on! got some pics if youd like them! couldnt see the i/c at all! stealth! :: also got the dimensions still if you want them!

If you can't see it, then air can't get to it, and whats the point in that? :?Originally Posted by dan16v

Can you see the intercooler on a escort cosworth, sapphire, Calibra turbo, 20v golfs ??? No you cant, the vent across the front of a Gsi or Sri bumper is fine for an engine running standard power imo, it channels air in & up to the rad as standard!If you can't see it, then air can't get to it, and whats the point in that? :?Mart,

Dan - Any pics & other info you could email me would be superb - Cheers!! I am going for the stealth look as you said, I want the car to look exactly the same as it did from the outside.
Well bare alot of thought on the thickness, because you don't want to over heat the rad aswell, better invest in a couple of SPAL fans to drag the air through the rad/intercooler combo. If you want a stealth install from the outside why don't you use a chargecooler? then you just put a slim rad infront of the existing rad, and an additonal water pump, job done, and it'll probably be a fair bit more efficient than the intercooler in the location your talking of.

Chris what you are forgeting is the the bottom of a gsi bumper mouth is curved and will direct air straight onto the fmic! 8)
plenty of rad left on show for cooling aswell!
Mart ill dig the pics and size out 2nite! :D
