Removing swaybars what if any benefit does it do? I snapped a mount on my rear awhile back and not sure if I can be bothered putting it back lol. Intercooler is leaking and I'm not willing to spend $600+ on a new slightly bigger one so is there such thing as to big for intercooler? And I know it's cooled by air but what about fitting a water type is it a complicated thing to rig up as a watercooled intercooler would better wouldn't it?

Any method of cooling air has its Merits which is best might be open to discussion. Dry ice Would be awesome but not practical.
Disconnecting Sway bay will give more body roll. Illegal on the road , More articulation off road thus quick dis connect swaybars

I'd leave the rear sway bar on, if your keen to remove it then is be I retested in buying it off you Healy. Your intercooler size won't make to much trouble for you, go large if you can.

Water to air is more efficient but harder to fit up. You end up having to fit the element to the front like a front mounted cooler and this can be a task.

Find a second hand zd30 cooler on eBay pretty cheap?

Rear swaybar is yet to be put back on from the toolarook trip when I snapped the mount on diff. So as long as I can get air intercooler top mount then it can be as big as I can fit? I've been looking at the stick ones but its a common problem for them to leak unless they have been retanked

Just get yours welded up. Cheaper that way.

if your snapping swaybar links that would suggest an issue, have you lifted it at all, put entended links in, my 2" lift was always snapping, replaced with AM links, issues fixed, allows better flex off road, otherwise disconnects are the go, standard touring doesnt require it

This, why waste cash if you can get it nipped up?

I'd reattach the swaybar too, sure you'll have better articulation offroad, but the big gu will not handle at all on road, plus if you're stopped by the plod they will give you the little yellow birdie quicker than you can say "where's the nearest bus stop?"

i have been considering getting this done myself can it just be welded or do you have to pull it apart first then ill stick it back on with a pulling fan
