Looks top notch chilly! I think I will just use those 2 fittings from ebay and buy my own gear which I'll prob use a B&M transcooler again as it has done well on my BA Turbo for 7years now but it wont be braided hose as I am poor...

I am trying to fit a PWR cooler in a BA XR6 turbo, if I don't move the inter cooler forward (shorter rubber mounts or modify brackets ?) I will never get it between a/c condenser and inter cooler. A couple of simple brackets will allow fitment with plenty of clearance in front of the inter cooler (up high, mostly out of sight). Iis it OK to do this or will the heat from the trans cooler through the inter cooler cause issues ?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

The trans cooler is the Ba PWR kit, I am sure the inter cooler is stock. Could someone who has fitted one behind the inter cooler please tell me if they were able to use the foam pads supplied with the mounting kit. I don't have enough room even if I don't use the pads.

Thanks

1kg x cornering g's, yeah you'd want it secured reasonably well.

not that these cars would pull much in a corner, but needs to be taken into account.

Plus looks better hidden in behind a fog light, up under the car Nizpro style etc IMO.
