I notice on the do88 website the comparison for pressure drop is for 1.9 barg boost and they are showing a decent improvement (reduction in pressure drop I mean) over the the standard unit, even apart from better quality & cooling.

I think you'll find the website published figures are for the new improved intercooler that came out a few weeks ago.

Cheers Graham I must have been reading the wrong bit. Anyway I was thinking along the lines of - if the core is thicker then probably the pressure drop will go down.

on the latest version they increased the size on the lower outlet to the same as their rip kit.
, thats why there is a hose attached in the photo.

100% goes on that positive terminal on the starter solenoid

Its the supply to the cooling fan, which James said doesn't work on your car?? now you know why.

I would disconnect anything you did to get the fan running before connecting the grey wire up, just in case

Well that would explain a lot. The fan hasn't worked since I did the gearbox conversion.... Another thing James/smithy/emlyn forgot to do!!!!
