cheers for the comments, as for the mesh i was fed up of people saying why have you got hardboard wedged in the front. :D

 

That previous mesh did look shite imo, didn't like to say anything though :D

 

Now, well it looks great, nice job mate :thumbs:

 

You can make a nice radiator cover for the house out of that old mesh!

Looks v.good, well done.

 

Does the 'BlitZt' logo come on already on it? (i quite like that)

 

Will you be able to post any performance increase B4 & after?

 

Dont forget to change your signature.

 

Cheers

cheers for the comments guys, i sprayed the blitz logo on there myself. as for performance increase i wouldnt have thought it would make that much difference other than i might be tempted to up the boost on my stock turbos a bit more. i fitted it to make way for the impending single turbo upgrade.:)

paul, there isnt really any advice i could give you as your fitting a HKS intercooler. with the blitz one i had to make my own brackets and spacers top and bottom as nothing lined up how i wanted it to. also had to trim the inner wing where the where the turbo to intercooler pipe goes through. the blitz instructions are absolute sh*te so as a guide i used the greddy instructions on mkiv.com. i just made it fit basically,if something was in the way i relocated it or done away with it.

Before you pay a fortune for a set of hard pipes - give me a shout - the new set should be ready soon!

 

(It is a HKS 'S' - yes?)
