General punto gt front mount intercooler HELP PLEASE

[BoostGT2]

can anybody help?!

i was told to get a saab NG900 intercooler for my gt ive been offerd one for £10, but its inlet/outlets it has one each side an when i looked under the car it looks like it wouldnt fit because of the position of the rad... then i saw a saab SE900 intercooler on ebay, an its outlet/inlets are on the left hand side rather close looking to where the standard GT intercooler would be.... can anybody help me tell me which one i need and also if i fit either one where does the oil cooler go as it mounts to the back of the standard intercooler.... plz help

You can use either one, the one you will have to move the rad across to fit and adjust the pipe work and the one with the inlet and outlet on the same side you can fit using the standard piping.

As for oil cooler you can mount it off the slam panel or battery tray etc.

Use either, but I found the saab one I had to be pretty pants tbh.

I fitted a Range Rover P38 IC which was pretty good considering it cost me £30. Had to move the rad over a couple of inches. Nothing major though. Fits using standard pipe work but you need to modify the post IC metal boost pipe.

I'll be putting that on ebay soon as I have just received a Forge FMIC to replace it.

as the man says ^ you will need to get some 90 bend tubes and then u can basically use all existing piping, but the rad will have to be moved only an inch or so over then oil cooler can be mounted near where the original airbox was or even behind a fog light with some cable ties.

good luck

I used the standard GT rubber boost pipes as they are about 90 degree bends.

I had a nightmare fitting the saab IC using the samco pipe kit. in the end I had to use standard boost pipes.

Hi all, a quick question. What fmic allows me to retain the air conditioning radiator, and doesn't require cutting the bumper? Thank you
