Mk7 Intercooler position

Postby Airthies » Wed Apr 18, 2018 11:13 pm

Looking at moving the intercooler up in front of the rad instead is where it collects all the sh*t from site
Anyone moved the intercooler somewhere else? Imagethis was a fairly clean day. Other days it can be brown till half way up the job at

You probably know this but it'll be down there where the cool dense air is, you can probably move it up some as long as it keeps getting cool air.

It won't really affect performance if you are up Scotland as i can't imagine temps going that high. :shock:

Not thought of splash guards and ducting etc?

Sometimes the muds right up onto the bonnet. So a splash card for that would be like puting a plastic sheet over the front of the rads was toying with the idea of cutting the lower section off completely the a bit of a sump guard too
