Here is their reply.

Hi Graham,
 
We are suppling intercooler kit which include all the pipe work for the air intake/intercooler, top rad hose, bottom rad coupling pipe, temp sensor and a new or s/hand air filter box. this will cost you £350.15 new filter box or £298.00 for s/hand one, plus 13.98 carriage for main land UK.
 
 
Thanks
 
Dave


Think I am going to make my own intercooler pipes up then.

I am also looking at cutting the air out nozzle offf the turbo and tig welding a right hand bend on so that it clears the wing and can be piped straigh up to the intercooler.

what i did was before the engine went in was adjust the inner wing with a 2Ib hammer so there was more space just where the turbo outlet comes out,what u need is a 300 tdi turbo outlet hose as its just slightly tighter than a 90 degree bend,if not buy a samco one whict is tighter than a 90,if u want any more infor drop me a pm N ill give you my No to fone me

Thanks for that info Mike, my turbo expert and I have just been looking at it again and the turbo is having surgery.

Yeh I recon that will be my idea aswell...

£350 god d*m................

Having removed the turbo and started to dismatle it ready to weld a 90 degree elbow on it we dicovered that there is no locating peg on the snailhousing so it can be positioned at any angle on the turbo.  So no need for welding, we are just going to turn the snail housing through 90 degrees and it will pipe into the intercooler using a couple of 90 degreebends and some of the old pipe.  It will also miss the inner wing completely.We will have to drill and tap a couple of new holes for the waste gate mechanism and jobs a good 'un.

Also looking at the possibility of using the airbox off of something like a Subaru Impreza Turbo or Nissan Primera as these are neat flat boxes with loads of airflow.  They can be fitted in almost anywhere.
