Change 300 tdi intercooler
« on: July 08, 2011, 12:47:20 »
Hi guys, I am after some advice on intercoolers. I am currently looking at putting a saab intercooler on the disco, but i am after some advice and other idea's other people may have done,  or If there is another car i could pull the intercooler out of. I am trying to do it without spending a fortune. Pics would be good to see how to fit and piping etc.

any info would be appreciated.

cheers

Matt.

Can't really help much, mine's pretty huge but it cost a few quid.  I would say that you need to think about cooling it, the originbal one has the fan running all the time to cool it, if you move it from that space it may not cool as effectively.
