    I think Carworx & GMC both sell intercoolers for around £350 so that'd be alright,wonder how much they'd charge for delivery though

    Thats what I was thinking,its quite a long way to travel + I don't think they do turbo charging either they just do SuperCharging.
    Also on their website they say that a standard 1.6 8v does 75-80bhp on the wheels? Is the 90/98bhp on the fly then??

    John informs me GMC can do anything you want!! charging, super/turbo, throttle bodies, stroker kits, cams, engine rebuilds, conversions race/road.... hell he'd proberly stick a space rocket in there for you, if you put up the ££ they can do it!

    The place is tried & tested, ive used them just for parts, they came next day to South Wales form scotland.... thats impressive, even when i didnt ask for quick delivery!! even when my oil cooler was leaky i returned it to the company and i had another one in a 2 days....!

    They really do know that engine inside out upside down and back to front! do highflow heads! peace of mind is a big thing in my book....
