Think you will have to keep wondering

I have a GRS intercooler so no JCW cover

obehave · Jun 1st, 2006, 07:08 PM

Installed mine last night.
Takes a firm hand

A lot less bounce to the IC now.

Robbie13 · Jun 1st, 2006, 08:12 PM

Received mine in the post today. Will fit (If I can) them tomorrow and post some pics.

Robbie13 · Jun 1st, 2006, 08:33 PM

Any handy fitting tips would be good.

Rolands tips are good.
Put the boots on the IC horns. The small end you can slide over the stop lip fairly well and not too hard.
The large end isn't as easy. It ends up a bit cocked so you have to feed the IC in towards you. Get the small end in place first that way you can push towards the small end to get the large end started.
Sounds harder than it is really.
Since there are no guides like the OEK boots you have to make sure the clamps are aligned right. Nice and perpendicular to the IC and parallel as well. The clamps are a bit of a tight fit so it takes a good squeeze the get them closed enough top get the bolt started.

Like I posted earlier though this all makes for a nice firm fit.

Oh yea. If you have a stock IC or the GRS make sure you get the 2 front bolts lined up before final clamp down.

Robbie13 · Jun 2nd, 2006, 01:57 PM

Just finished fitting my snoot boots. Thanks for the advice obehave. Not such a bad job as I thought, only one cut thumb.

Here are the pics.

obehave · Jun 2nd, 2006, 02:48 PM

Nice

I think you need to buy some Plasti Dip and change the color of your oil dipstick handle.

Good idea!

roland2003 · Jun 2nd, 2006, 03:52 PM

Some good tips & pics guys, thanks. I think Im going to buy BMW a file & a 'quick-burr' for christmas. Watch those lethal knife edges

they leave on the small horn where they have milled the eliptical step on the casting. Whenever we fit an intercooler I always deburr this as a matter of course.

Best Regards Roland GTT

Robbie13 · Jun 2nd, 2006, 03:59 PM

Hi Roland,
Thanks for the snoot boots, I'm very happy with them. I cut my thumb on those "knife edges". Hurry up and buy that file for BMW, too late for me though!

Too true.
I had removed mine (snoots) and deburred them a while back,
NIce safe radius on them now.
