Thanks for the kind words guys,

small update, fitted the new HDI GT2 intercooler yesterday.

Removal of front bar

new cooler fitted

Excuse the dirty engine bay.

front bar back on

Minor difference in power, however the engine does feel crisper/sharper under WOT, intake noise has deepened. Not the best cooler out there, but core looks sturdy. Hoping will be ok for the power levels I'm chasing (320~350rwkw. street driven)

Next is Bosch 044 fuel pump, then book it in for a tune.

Cheers.

How did you get the torque app on the icc screen?

[RoVer]

Just trying to work out your stereo setup, so you have get your factory screen but fed an output video from single din head unit to show up on icc? and how did you manage to keep steering wheel controls?

that's correct, JVC h/u outputs to a carconverters PAL/NTSC to NTSC converter, which outputs its converted signal to the ICC. Converter accepts 2 video inputs, which are switch controlled:

switch on left flicks between H/U and phone AV inputs, switch on right turns converter on/off, which returns ICC back to factory dual zone climate views. This isn't necessary though as the climate control pops up whenever a button on dash is pressed, just like factory optioned satnav/dvd does.

Steering wheel controls were retained via a SWI-JACK.

How did you get the torque app on the icc screen?

Samsung Galaxy S's TV out function, which outputs into converter -> ICC. Phone is mounted in glovebox and is always charging.

Thanks guys.

So you got a TV out cable. And plugged it Into a modified ICC with RCAs?

Premium/colour ICC's have a video input for dealer optioned sat nav/DVD. Yes, Galaxy S RCA TV out cable plugs into converter, which converts the signal to NTSC (only format ICC supports.)

Here's a Fordmods link which goes into depth, which should clear any confusion.

Sweet man! I'll check the link out.

Are you able to have the gauges showing and the radio playing at the same time?

Hey mate. Was just wondering how long you where driving around with the new cooler before getting a tune? And how you where driving it e.g. like a grandma or still able to give it some?

Hey mate, it still hasn't been tuned, at the moment the ECU is flashed with a generic 8 PSI 95ron tune using an xcal 3, but filling up with 98. Actually took for a good run on the mountains and held up fine. In saying that, you should get a proper tune but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Cheers

Apologise in advance, but have read this a couple times now, may have missed the answer. How does the ecu connect to the Samsung to show the engine stats?
