Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

Not online anyway. Any it's not really interdependent testing either.Case closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitland Posted 27/03/12 10:25 AM Share Posted 27/03/12 10:25 AM (edited) thanks for the help mate, was there that much cutting with the pw cooler ?Hey mate just this useless plastic part needs to be cut, plus a little trimming of another plastic piece and maybe a tiny bit of clearance grinding on the bottom of the front crash bar its nothing really. I also found the piece from the throttle body in the PW kit required a lot of frigging around to stop it from hitting the log intake manifold which is a problem possum has pointed out. The Cooler Works pipes had no problems here and the piece from the turbo also cleared the PW airbox silicon a lot easier and made installation very easy.Im not brand biased at all just telling you what I reckon with what I have experience with. The other guys have chipped in with valuable advice. Just to make your choice even less clearer you have the HDI kit with the funky pipe joiners and also a PWR item that fits right where the factory one sits, is the same height and width (roughly) but thicker so theres no cutting and it will match up to factory pipes, PW and Cooler Works, maybe Plaz not sure.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 27/03/12 11:12 AM Share Posted 27/03/12 11:12 AM Is that useless plastic piece the part I've heard is considered part of structural integrity and airbag deployment? The "grid" part? Or something else?Whilst not independent, these are some of the results from recent testing (1month ago) of Nizpro vs 2 other leading intercooler kit manufacturers in comparison to standard also.http://www.nizpro.co...&id=91&Itemid=2Edit: Simons response hopefully answers a few questions or may just be an interesting read for some. this is an extract of a technical article he has written for an upcoming street fords magazineFantastic read! Especially liked the back pressure info about the valve overlap period and the 800-1000°C air possibly being left in the cylinder and affecting the incoming cool air! Less back pressure = less work for my turbo = longer life and better performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no sensors attached to it or anything close to it that I can recall. Dont know how much structural integrity it would provide being plastic.

Is that the plastic bit you cut out when uou put a Pw cooler in? I still have that piece and there's not sensor on that. Do you think cutting that middle piece out woud affect it?
