does fitting a larger intercooler to a 300tdi defender really work.

Purpose of the snorkel is to raise the intake as high as possible! The best snorkle, one with the less angle for air to get around, is the SOUTHDOWN one. It fits through the top of the wing, so does away with the crappy plastic wing fitting.
The standard Td5 Intercooler has very similar internal dimensions as a standard Tdi intercooler so no benefit in fitting it...buy a decent uprated intercooler, silicone hoses & plumb it in with as much solid pipe as possible.

however the intercooler has a much bigger surface area and is much thinner, so its more efficient at its job ...actually....Jamie :-$ :lol: :lol: hows goin ?
yer big intercoolers make a big difference...on road....but offroad you need make sure something is drawing as much air as possable through it or else its pointless :roll:

Oh Danny boy....you are as usual correct it is more efficient at doing it's job, however...
Fitting a std Td5 intercooler to a Tdi, after you have piped it in around the engine will make [!Expletive Deleted!] all difference....if it did you would have fitted one :twisted:
I'm good...you?

A friend has one on his 300Tdi 110 CSW. Also a ported and polished head, tweeked pump and I'm sure its chipped too :-k It's also running with Ashcroft Disco transfer gears, very quick motor indeed.

Hence the scratchy head smilie thing, I didn't know for certain and have no experience with 300Tdi's. Upon checking it out with him and being called a doughnut, I know it isn't the case or possible (my bad) the actual tuning is as the remaining listed, the head is a Turner?
What do I know, I'm a Td5 owner and I know those can deffo be chipped. :lol:
