Surely the intercooler would be ok for 350bhp +?

**graemewelch** · Saturday 16th February 2013, 21:19

maybe but air temps will be stupidly high and youll start loosing power. i cant comment on what difference it make as mine was fitted when i bought the car

I think i'll just go for a 3inch downpipe with 2.5 inch system and a map then worry about intercooler later

You'll need to ditch the nivomats when/before you lower it mate.

Already sourced some nearly new shocks but from an 02 car hope they will fit. Just need a cheap set of 40mm springs.
