Not a fan of a fan Mat ?

Not really. If the cooler is as good as they claim you shouldnt need one. $2200 should tell you that lol. Do a small experiment. Grab a 50 degree stick on switch from jay car and wire an led into it so when the fan is switched the led comes on.

I in stalled a 50 degree switch on mine, but never actually got around to connecting it, so I guess the worst case scenario. Fan installed but never switches on and my temps are fine.

Finally put a tube of this in it's been sitting on the table for months... See if it makes anything "smoother".

Intercooler and scoop fitted. Just picked her up before fresh off the dyno. Quick run shows there is definitely potential. From the drivers point of view will getting some used to the scoop lol.

How'd she go on the rollers mate?

Was getting really late so she only went on for a very quick run mate, but easily picked up 5-10kW judging only from that. Proper tune is needed for sure.
They had hiccups with a egr pipe completely obstructing the intercooler so cut and chop was needed and bit of fabricating invovled. I believe it is the picture below (I think). I'll go back there tomorrow and talk to the guy who done the work as he wasnt there when I picked her up.

Also below is a photo of part of a intake pipe. You can clearly see the black EGR shit on the inside where in inters the pipe.

Do you think this would pickup a bit of intake noise just with the bigger intercooler? It's definitely got this wind up sound now very evident in the cap, when the turbo spools up. Unsure whether it's intake noise now or a hose is loose or something making a leaking sound.
Lost daylight so, will have to have a better look tomorrow.

Those coolers are known to be noisy mate. It will most likely be induction noise.

I removed all of the egr rubbish on mine.

Yeah mines noisy and once you get a proper tune done you wont know yourself. Mine puts a massive smile on my face every time i drive it now. Can't wait to see what the 4" in/out airbox, 18G and 12mm do.

Maybe a little while off though.
