sargo Member 107 Member For: 18y 5m 10d Location: Brisneyland Posted 14/12/06 06:03 AM Share Posted 14/12/06 06:03 AM Looking to buy and fit an aftermaket intercooler in the new year. The wogcooler looks the goods according to the many threads devoted to it. Has anyone fitted one of these themselves. I have a BA MKII manual and would like to know if the cooler comes with everything you need and what (if any) are the pitfalls when fitting one of these?Ta.

Guest Guests Posted 14/12/06 08:05 AM Share Posted 14/12/06 08:05 AM I fitted mine myself in about an hour and a half. It would of been alot easier if I had someone to hold it in place while I tightened the brackets but it's still possible on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty straight forward if your good with ya hands. You wont need any extra stuff, it bolts up in place of the original one ( same pipes). It would make it easier to also have a second set of hands , getting the bumper on/off, holding the cooler, and to pass the beer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I measured on a stone cold 10 degree night the std cooler droped 20 degrees across the core. Stay tunedIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even gave it a coat of matt black, virtually impossible to pick as non stock (certainly to the untrained eye anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
