Love to hear abit more about your feelings on the before and after feel of the car with the front mounted intercooler.
I've got a few mods already on the car and I've got an uprated actuator waiting to go on the car when it's remapped but wondering if its worth the money to throw in a intercooler at the same time.
Only the Forge one is about £600 and G-Tech do two different sized ones one cheaper than the Forge item and one about the same.
So far its been great, the car has done nearly 1000 miles since fitting.
Seems to have a better throttle response, the boost gauge now almost peaks at 1.2 bar since fitting. Sounds great too, can really hear the turbo spooling.
It would certainly go hand in hand with a map to tie it all together but for now have left the ecu standard for warranty purposes.
You can also feel it holding on to boost for longer, I always thought you could feel the 1.4 power tailing off quite early higher up in revs. I imagine this would be far better with a remap though.
If you got in touch with Airtec though and said you would be willing to have yours mapped with fitting they would do you a great price. Speak to Alan and tell him Ben sent you.
