Although I didnt give it any stick at all and pretty much kept it off boost.as for the cooler and piping, just got to keep playing round with it until it sits up high and out of the way. As for the horn, I reckon its the way you bolted it, dud earth where its bolted onto. Maybe the horn was moved when you put the bar back on. I took my front bar on and off a few times before I sorted it all out. Can now say I am an expert in fitting the front bar lol. First time took me over an 1hour now its about 5mins Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50182-my-disasterous-intercooler-install-x-_-x/page/4/#findComment-742459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 8m 27d Gender: Male Posted 30/09/08 08:44 AM Author Share Posted 30/09/08 08:44 AM haha thanks guys.. I'm actually really happy right now and proud of myself.. the JB weld putty managed to hold up the drilled hole, with help from other forums member, I flushed out coolant system and put in new stuff.. then took my car for a hook beating and it jumps to 6000 easy. I wouldn't call myself a handy man though, as I bugged the crap out of XF_FALCON and RAP1D for help =]- your a legend EZ2CME.. it was actually my fuse that went bung, and a new blue 15amp fuse did the job =]]]]]I'll try and re position the pipes 2moro now as my mud guard/splash tray watever it is, is just hanging off with a cable tie.thought I'd lastly add some more photos of my engine bay with rap1d piping and Trust b.o.v Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50182-my-disasterous-intercooler-install-x-_-x/page/4/#findComment-742541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
