Fook the ARB off totally, its a waste of time. Oil cooler is a bespoke mounting jobbie (as in the cooler itself) as for a wiring diagram its pratcially the same as an XE

no that is crap. i would leave the arb off but get yourself a strut brace .

what problems you got with the wiring. send a picture of your loom and whats the problem and i should be able to help.

the oil cooler goes wherever you can put it
the rad is tight

and you just gotta do what you gotta do to fit the intercooler

take the anti roll bar off, its shockingly bad anyway and if anything leaving it on will make it understeer more. Ive never ran one an ive never built one that has had one on either.

Depends what you use the car for with regards to the oil cooler i dont run one an like above have fitted one to anyones, if its going to be a pure track car then I would fit one but anything other than that its extra mess / weight in the engine bay.

Intercooler a rad set up depends on what rad / intercooler you are using there are so many different ones you could use to be honest.

Also easist option for header tank is a cav / calibra one as it has two top inlets and means you dont have to gypo a T piece into the turbo.

i would still use the nova header and take the turbo return and put it into the bottle . then take the hose from the inlet manifold next to the alternator and t piece it into the turbo return near the bottle as poss.

what you got with your wiring.
pm me if still have probs.

IMO I wouldnt T-piece those pipes as one is a constant flow and the other an overflow

Tie bars need lowering at the front crossmember and also fitting on the bottom of the control arms at the wheel to clear the F28.

and the fact that you have spell check on your computer that you are clearly using to write with makes it that little bit more retarded.
