Hi, does any 1 have a spare front mount intercooler kit?
If not does any 1 know who does 1? Or even another cooler that fits with hoses etc? Cheers!

A Mitsi Evo2 fits apparently; http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,7056.0.html

As does a Cosworth one, Not sure if it's Escort, Sierra, or what though.

Might be worth measuring the area then heading to a scrappie that has them on the shelf so you can browse through them. You'll find they'll be a lot cheaper there than new and gives you an excuse to fit silicone hoses too instead of the standard ballooning ones. I intend on doing that soon but probably not until I've fitted the 30 or so things I have piled up :o

Would a Sprinter one fit though? I remember it being pretty big on a Polo

I had to lop the edges of the chassis legs off on my mk2 when I fitted it to that;

No one really makes a kit for a g40, not enough demand I guess.

Get in touch with PPP, they might be able to do something for you.

Good point. This is an old one (V reg style I believe) It's the same as a Vito one too (of the same age) for reference!
