I think more info or even pictures of the engine bay will help as stated above, is it a blow though carby setup??? or electronic/K-jet injection???, only reason im asking ive seen more blow though cabry setups on mk1s than injection

What about some sort of factory cooler from an s13 or something. Theyre small and thin and you could pick one up for like $20. Would be better than nothing. I'd love to see some more detailed pics and some more info on your setup.

I've driven it. It rocks.

If you are worried about space in front, maybe a side mount? A fair few Polo GTI guys have them sitting around (I do...) so it would be cheap and drop your intake temps by a few deg. They hold up to the 20ish PSI a chipped 1.8T kicks out, but they will heatsoak in summer with that much boost.

you can fit a 2.5" thick core in front of the radiator without cutting anything really, just elongate the holes in the radiator bottom mounts a tiny bit for an extra 5mm. a 600mm wide core will fit right across the front like the pic posted just earlier, and with a stock engine bay you can have the piping come out from under the battery tray on the passenger side. the intercooler cant be more than about 240mm tall because of the bonnet catch, unless you don't have a bonnet catch and are using pins instead.

we did this on the mk1 TDI we built.... worked fantastically well. also only took about half a day to mount the intercooler and plumb it all in, but then I am pretty awesome

When you post reply in advance there is a option to upload pictures

that's his setup. You'll introduce a bit of lag with the amount of extra piping you would need.
