I'm trying to fit a 1000hp cooler in my fg xr6t but it doesn't seem to be fitting properly. I've read that some of you had to bend and cut some things that arn't in the instructions given. The top of the cooler hits the a/c pipe and the picture that's in the instructions doesnt have the bent my pipe mine does. This is what the one in the instructions looks like https://www.plazmaman.com/upload/dazcvrrlekmmllwz.jpg (in the top right hand corner of the cooler).

Any tips?

That late model mk1/mk2 feel..

Just CAREFULLLY BUT FIRMLY bend it untill you have enough clearance to fit it up. Wish I took pics of this when I did my install

There's no other way around it unfortunately as the kits aren't version specific :/

Maybe shoulda bought Plazmaman instead of the less well known Palzmaman brand from the title :(

...sorry couldn't help it. At least I waited until some useful replies were in :)

Yeah it's a late model mk1. Could I heat it with a heat gun or blow tourch to bend it or not?
Its also rubbing on the little aluminium cube that's directly below the a/c pipe about 20cm but I can probably fix that by moving the radiator support back even more.
Whats your clearance like between the thermos and the fanbelt/pullys?

I probably should have opted for the Plazmaman instead yeah. :wild:

I drilled into the brackets/supports and moved it all back about 5cm. Have about 2cm clearance, hardly any but enough without making it dangerous.

I just used my muscles and kept on bendng it up and then back to sorta flatten it out like the early mk1's

Should mention top brackets in engine bay and radiator supports under the car. Was annoying but it worked.
