Defi Price List.

Ok people Had a reply from my mate in the States. The prices that he has given me are basically the same as here minus the 17.5% VAT...but...if the order was big enough ($2500 (£1408) worth)) then we would be making big savings of AT LEAST 20%. Maybe more dependant on quantity of orders. For example...

Re: Damn intercooler!!!

Question is, are the aftermarket ones easier to put back in than the old one is to take out?? I fitted a Greddy after taking mine out. Much much easier to install, Loads of room to work with. I did half destroy the stock IC getting it out though. The fins were bent all over the place. But it did co...

Re: standard intercooler removal

In addition to the responses above. I carried out this to replace the stock IC with a greddy. You need plenty of patience! Trust me! If you remove the large engine hook and also unbolt the brake servo hard pipe, you can get the IC out. You will need to slide a thin bit of hard board between the IC a...
