So that explains the lacklustre performance and diminishing fuel economy! New fast road Allisport intercooler and new silicone hoses on the way!!

I had it on my D3, install is very straight forward, easy enough. good new it is not a Turbo then... :w00t: l=Oo\________/oO=l & l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l SDV8 L405 RR, TRëK Range Rover P48 & L322 Range Rover "BT52 CNE"

Group: Committee Members Posts: 823, Visits: 5.2K	I'm putting the fast road (FR) bigger intercooler from Allisport in place of the standard LR intercooler so coupled with the remap even more ponies under the bonnet.... I looked at the offroad (OR) intercooler which has the same fin pitch and density as the FR, but is strangely more expensive than the FR, having spoken at length to Andrew at Allisport he advises that as the G4 is fitted with the protruding winch mount the FR is fine to fit and doesn't get clogged that much when going offroad as the sump guard and winch mount protect it, the OF intercooler was designed specifically for D3's that have the recessed/hidden winch mount between the front chassis rails as there is no space for the FR as its full of winch. We'll see what happens...... Best Regards Andi BG08VFW UK & Ireland Selections Vehicle Fleet Number 1
