When I fitted mine it blew the hot side pipe off, if you position the clamp screw heads upright you don't need to remove the bumper, just the head lights. Other than that it s a great intercooler with a big turbo and the fitment is not only perfect but its easier than most smaller ones!
Recently installed mine with the help of this video! Did you ever have any issues with boost before getting the turbo using this intercooler? I’m currently revo stage 1 and got this ready for stage 2 and eventually rt330. After fitting it the car won’t go over 15psi of boost. As soon as it hits 15 it sounds like a boost leak and won’t go any further but no eml is coming on. Will have the bumper off again to check the pipes but would be interesting to hear if you ever had anything similar?
How long do you plan to keep the ST? Also, plans for next car? I think the market for cars following the ST has so many options.. there’s the predictable Focus RS, the Germans (A45, M140/240, S3) etc. Or even the unpredictable like Hyundai i30N I have an ST currently stage 1 mountune (worst tune I know) planning on going Stage 2 pro in the not to distant future But I only plan to keep the car another 12 month ish then I’ll upgrade.. what’s your thoughts?? Keep up the good work man 🙏🏻
hi mate im looking at this intercooler for my car, it doesn't rattle at all does it? the fact it mounts by just sitting in the crash bar. I assume its proper solid when the boost pipes are all connected
Looks good. All white logo was a good choice. What actually holds the intercooler in? Looks like you just slid it into the gromets. No screws/bolts anywhere to secure it?
@@CarRambles fair enough. My main concern would be just how bumpy the ST suspension is but seems pretty secure. Great looking upgrade. Bring on the better snail!
@@fordyford aha, yeah i see your point, it's a tight fit to the whole thing, so the grommets hold really well, it's tight to the crash bar and the little plastic good, so everything kinda holds it nicely. I'm so excited for the turbo but the money has to arrive first
@@CarRambles For Fordy Ford it's not the grommets which hold the cooler in place, it's the metal mounting pins which go into the grommets which hold the cooler :-)
Hot side came with my Revo turbo but on both sides I used the stock silicone that comes directly off the intercooler. Cold side I used airtec(?) I think which fits ok
@@CarRambles thanks for the info. May I know if you need to cut & add any extra hose for fitting? Any issue with the bumper not fit due to wider pipes?
