I enjoyed that. Thanks!
Nothing new, but fun to see one turbo kit provider's steps in turbocharging the 2

Exactly. Gives you some ideas and shows that they tried a bit of this and a bit of that before actually producing a kit  s;) ;) s;)

I stumbled across it when looking for intercooler pics

It was the size of the intercooler that caught my eye, wonder why they went intercooler and not charge.

It is huge. And first time I've seen one with a scoop to force air through it. But impressive results on the cooling on and off track

Imagine its effective but could achieve same results with a pwr. I do like the look of all the pipping though and the scoop.

PWR?  I like the intercooler, I am gonna go a similar route. Charge coolers take too much space and too much plumbing.

I was looking at how I good perhaps make a Apex type 2 IC fit, but it maybe a bit overkill hahahaha

This a pick of mine on when it was fitted to a different car. The rad is at the front.

Ok, your one doesn't look to bad. I saw LeeSparkys one and it looked rammed in his engine bay.

It's like the noble m12 GTO scoop except upside down. I think it would be better if you could build something into the engine lid to channel air down. Like the M12
