G60 engine query

Post by daveyg »

Im picking my new engine up in 10 days and i know i will need to sort out a couple of bits that are not included, injectors and intercooler. In an ideal world i would find a cheap Golf G60 front mount and fit that but they are hard to come by and when they do are expensive. So i have been looking at a few other options for front mount, there is the sprinter intercooler which seems to be quite popular and readily available at a reasonable cost. I know there are one or two of you that have G60's in your Mk2, question is what intercooler setup did you use. Any pics would also be a good inspiration.

Thanks

Pete

I've got a custom one from Pitstop Developments (who aren't around anymore I believe) in mine. It's the same length and height as the Golf Rallye cooler, but its a bit thicker.

As you can see, its a bit tight between the radiator and the chassis leg...
