I've seen some on eBay new from Holland for £100.

Shipped from Thailand but worried they are wrong projection.

Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.

Friday took is a little longer than expected. I went to my friend Ian's Friday in the 2 and it took a good few hours I get the bumper off. Bolts sheared/got stuck behind the indicators and also every single bolt snapped along the top except the middle as it's a different set up. https://i.imgur.com/...

Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.

Well. Long time since I updated the thread. Sold my house and waiting to buy a new place (with a massive garage). So the mr2 is at a relative's on their drive. Decided to go the chargecooler route after selling my side mount. Test fitted and I'm just waiting on clamps and a day to mount the radiator...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Charge Cooler for 400hp

That's where mine is. Under the passenger side headlight. As for bleeding, Open the top valve on prerad. Put a garden hose in the filler neck while running the pump. I spent an entire day messing about with it before doing this. I've never had to bleed mine or top it up in 7000 miles. perfect thank...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Charge Cooler for 400hp

You'll need a filler neck at the very least. Having a valve on the prerad certainly helps! Sure, my pre-rad has a nice bleed valve at the top and bottom so that should help. the plan is Pre-Rad > Pump > 19mm IDA hose to rear of car > Inline 19mm filler neck > chargecooler > 19mm IDA hose back to fr...
