PM sent. I really must get round to fitting the P38 Rangy 'cooler thats been sat atop my fridge gathering dust for nigh on a year.

Time to raid the scrappy for miscellaneous intercooler hoses and to take a grinder to the inlet manifold stub :shock:

Ahhhh, the joys of being single.................

Forgive me, but I understood (from a not inconsiderable source you know) that should you 'Bosh In' an Intercooler to a Turbo Diesel then you must address the fuelling at the same time.

Well, once my 'cooler is sellotaped and pritt sticked into position i'll treat the car to a proper live remap and consign the tuning box to the place on the fridge previously occupied by the intercooler.

A pleasing gain should be apparent anyway, but you're right - for max benefit the fuelling should we tuned to suit.
