I have had a look and it looks easy to do,
But, what size do i get? how cheap?(very cheap) and where would i put it as space is at a premium Question

Also does longer pipes cause turbo lag ?
I'm a first timer with intercoolers Embarassed

As I understand it there will be a bit of lag.

I would say mount it infront of the rad, as there is alot of space in there, and it will get the most cold air.

I would have thought one with both pipes at one end would be best, with both on the off side.

I think you will have to increase your fueling to get the most out of it though.

Lag will be insignificant because the diesel is not controlled with a throttle.

Yes, put it in front of the rad and fit the biggest one you can get hold of.

I don't know if it's fitted with intake temp fuel compensation (is there an inlet air temp sensor?), if not you'll want to wind the fuel up a bit to get the benefit.

I'll check for a sensor, but as far as i know its all hammer and spanner tech, no silly ecu.

No intake sensors or other gadgets, thank god!! Plan carefully if you go for FMIC because if you then want to fit a winch it'll be in that area.
