I had just over 1.5 bar from a TD05 through one. Version 4 intercoolers don't easily fit version 1 & 2's without modification to both the intercooler, throttle body & bulkhead so they are better in that respect.

Ive got one fitted to my version 2 but had to do all of the above to get it to fit!

Max'd out @1.3 bar aswell so looking for a tad more on a top mount

Lol you fitted it wrong then

It's a tight squeeze but all you do is relocate the clutch return spring bracket and they sit tidy. Also if you have an after market downpipe you find you only have 2 bolt locations. But apart from that it's a straight swap ?

I get 1.4 bar on the limit of my Maf and Injectors and stay within a max knock of 29 during track use

There was no way my v4 sti intercooler was going to fit between my throttle body and bulkhead without cutting down both the intercooler and throttle body!! There was nowhere near the room plus id raised the inlet by 10mm

Mines running maf less with 550 injectors and the mapper said my intercooler would be at its limit and any more boost would cook it!

Crossed wires mate it read like you had fitted the ARC and done all of the above Which would have been silly

Even if I do find one you can't have it until you remove that Paul Walker Sticker from your bumper

I think if folk do have/find one they would be reluctant to sell.

Can't you buy them new?
