Bet you cant wait to get it all together now dan. I would put a new seal on just to play it safe if it was me though.

Nope I cannot! Just had a phone call off my mum my 90 degree reducer for the turbo has just arrived so will go pick that up. Now I know the EGR clip fits I can order the 90 degree reducer for that too!

I will be glad once it's fitted I was hoping it wouldn't have cost this much tbh! Any ideas where to get the seal from mate or can I use a normal O-Ring as I need 2 different sizes but 1 of each.

Well my one from darkside just came with a normal thick black oring but it was very very tight to get on but suppose that not such a bad thing

I'll order a couple of normal O-Rings. Tighter the better IMO, no boost leaks then. Just hope it's all worth it haha!

Nice dan..

Nom nom

Fits like a glove!

Looks good. Did you have to order the keychain separately or did Forge throw it in for free?

Thanks mate! Quick posting, I suppose I better hurry up and get them done soon

I'll be changing all the pipe work soon enough though. Had a few problems to begin with which is why I got some spare brackets lol

Is yours a Forge cooler or a Seat Sport one mate? Mind if I have a quick spy under the bonnet just to see roughly where it mounted. I'm going to do as much work as I can before I go for the pipe work, my car will be running twin cooler on the way there.....shame only one of them will be connected haha!

Any idea what pipe work your going for?

Yeah, although its not finished.. I ended up taking about four hours trying to get it to fit properly, so going to finish the piping next week!

Great stuff, I'm hoping to do mine in the next 3 weeks as I have 12 days off at the end of March so can spend a couple of days on it

Dark Hero is doing the leds on the switches etc tomorrow, excited to say the least!

63-57mm silicone reducer is here for the EGR coupler too.

Just got off the phone to TX Autosport & ordered 10 of their clamps, a mixture of 3 sizes. Dark Hero is selling me some SS cooler brackets which I'll pick up tomorrow then only the MAP boss sensor from DarkSide to buy!

I went for the forge seat sport style intercooler. Might see if the darkside hard pipe kit fits or I might see if piper can make some

I have the same intercooler as you and the Darkside piping. It fits!

My t clamps came today from TX Autosport, very quick delivery considering I ordered them late morning yesterday!

Also Dark Hero did the LED conversion to red on my car, over the moon with it, will get some pics when I get home shortly!

Here are my T bolts, I ordered 3 different sizes

Hard to think there's £140 with of stuff here....

Seat Sport Intercooler brackets which I picked up from Dark Hero today

And a couple of LEDs for those who don't see the other thread.

After

Again thanks to Dark hero who did the conversion and for taking me out in his fabia! First experience of a hybrid and I loved it, now to just get this one done!

Today I decided to mount the intercooler - just to do any trimming etc that's needed.

Got the plastic surround back on! Required loads of trimming with a dremel!

I didn't leave the intercooler fitted just wanted the mounts in. The bloke who said he'd do my pipework isn't getting back to me now :/ might have to do my own pipework now

Good progress with the intercooler mate. Hope you get the pipe work sorted soon
