    304 Hidden twin turbo setup on 215i Grange?

    i agree with greenfoam, it realy comes down to the size of the engine , and the 5L is just to big , i just fitted a gt35r on my 5L in the engine bay and there was only just enough room to make it fit with out chopping the car appart, just remember the turbo has oil and water lines , a oil return...

    Nah the stock one was fine but I thought it wouldn't hurt to change it specially to replace it with something new and better and it didn't cost that much

    i got the radiator in today, had to trim a bit more off the thermo fans , this time i sealed the thermos with sikaflex around the raditator , so it can only suck through the radiator and no where else , it makes a big difference and u cant here the thermos anymore
  22. v8_bomberdore

    opperation turbo vp v8

    304 twin thermos

    the size difference is only small , i think these will cool better becuase the whole fan is covering core , the el fans hange over the end tanks , the mondeo fans sit right up against the radiator so its sealed from sucking anywhere but through the radiator, witch is the most important thing ...
