Hi Guys,,

Could someone just shine some light on the Gtt Intercooler for me,

Would it just bolt Straight on in replace on of the standard one?
Would i have to change any other parts to prevent damage or Reliabilty?

I'm Putting it on to a 210 jcw and just need a bit of reassurance..

Thanks alot.

Fitting will require some trimming of the insulation material from the hood. Snoot boots recommended too - check the GTT web site.

It bolts straight in place apart from the coil pack will have to be relocated via a plate that is supplied, and as sam says a bit of modifying to the hood scoop internally.

Instuctions are supplied.

does anyone have any pictures of what thay have done to the insulation above the GTT intercooler. i have just fitted one & removed the insulation so far.
i need to get a seal alomg the back edge to help ensure that the air passes directly through the intercooler & not down the back !!

oem foam kit

not attractive but effective

Buy a GRS Intercooler !!

Comes with a modified scoop (Better than the cutting and filling method)

No need to move the coil!

End tanks better profiled for max flow

Ok I agree its not the biggest IC on the market but its not size, its efficancy that matters.

Need I go on with the benefits of the GRS Intercooler?

PM For more details!

i just put a palo uber "the scoop" on my stock '06 S..in the hope that it wil come handy when i modify it. when i put it on, it told me to rip off the insulation and the black plastic trimming as it harms air flow..?
