Twintercooler now on my k1 - butt dyno says its got a lot more shove low down and top end seems to be reached quicker.

Did you check to make sure Andy had left the offending screw out of the undertray mate?

He made a "special screw" to take the place of the original :happy2:

well i got a twintercooler off of jon-tfsi originally from Leon, good times. ......................................................................

we thought it would just be a case of making some brackets...bad times. it looks as if it wont be possible.

here is the leon twintercooler, see the brackets are top two corners.



here is the octavia one notice there are 2 holes in the bottom to mount the brackets into. Not sure if ill be able to fabricate anything to fit it.



any ideas

or just look into another IC

you might be able to get a fabrication firm to weld you mounts onto the bottom?

they are made of aluminium alloy, its MIG or TIG welding but they need to be experienced at welding aluminium as its very easy to burn through

looking at the work of art i knocked up with my left hand and a blunt crayon, ive shown that in the bottom corner where there is  a threaded mounting hole missing. Some how i need to weld some sort of bracket onto there. So i thought what about if i welded a bolt in the same position, and then a bracket could go onto it, and a simple nylon washer to secure it.


Feesable or not

Would you have to fit the cooler, making sure all the pipes are connected and then mark up on the cooler where you need to weld the studs / brackets?  Just to make sure everythings going to be in the right place when mounted...

That wouldnt be a problem, but to be fair as long as the intercooler is centred in the fron it should be ok anyway
