Replacing Damaged Oil-Cooler

As we were dismantling the old setup I noticed that one of my oil-coolers had seen better days. I was bad and made me think that the oil flow and temperature would not be at it's optimum level when the engine was running. I found a replacement one which I bought and swapped them over.

Trust 94mm Mid-pipe and Rear Box

One thing I needed to make sure with my new setup was that the exhaust system needed to be very free flowing. I was looking for a bigger exhaust system and a Trust system came up for sale, it comprised of a 94mm Mid-pipe and Rear box. I went and picked it up straight away as I knew this would be perfect for what I needed, more air-flow = more power!

Old vs New

Dismantle

Now I have all my bits and pieces together it's time to start the dismantling of the current turbo and intercooler setup. All work was done by my very good friend Laeeq with the occasional helping hand from me... He helped me get the brackets for the Intercooler and the braided lines/ water lines for the new turbo. First thing was to get the old turbo, maniold and downpipe off!
