Gibbo · 1 Apr 2011 at 19:11

Hi there

Well I collect my car from Forge Motorsport tomorrow, here are the pictures:-

Looks great, car wait to collect the car tomorrow to see what 411BHP feels like as thats what it made with the intercooler fitted, 12BHP up from what it is was and perfect now for anyone want to fit a larger turbo and aim for very big power on an X.

So they have added:-
Forge Intercooler
Braided brake lines
Forge coolant pipes
Forge header tank
Forge power steering tank
oil catch can kit,

The BOV for the 360 is slightly different fitment to other FQ's so they are revising that and shall send it on to me.

Its been a pleasure working with Chris on the car and I can't wait to get it back now and then anyone interested in buying the car, well now its an absolute bargain with all this added extra kit.

Makes this a bargain now, anyone want to buy it?

You're doing it wrong. You don't modify your car whilst trying to sell

What does that big silver tube do?

It sucks in air.

I suspect it has air blown through it, that looks like the intercooler exit pipe.

The turbo sucks nice cool air from the intercooler.

No it doesn't, nor does any turbo for that matter.

Iceman · 1 Apr 2011 at 20:23

Ok then it doesnt

Naaah don't believe you. Turbo Smurbo.
I reckon it's some sort of face cooling thing. Gibbo's trying to reduce sweat on the face... Look at the routing, it's a dead giveaway. Front grill -> bulk-head->vents.
You can't fool me.

I'd be closely looking at how well the front bumper is refitted and what 'modifications' had to be made to get the intercooler in place. Not saying it looks like a bad install btw.

So you have an Evo and 911, wtf

the plan was to swap straight from the evo to the 911, but the evo hasn't sold yet.

Think your mis-understanding.

Forge Motorsport want to do things the same way as the Americans do, basically the right way, bolt-on mods that the owner can do in his driveway.

The Forge intercooler is literally a bolt-on item, take the old one off, put the Forge in its place. No drilling, cutting or jigging of anything required and thats the beuty of the unit. It means I could easily swap the intercooler over myself, its about a 2hr job, less if you've done them before.
