I have replaced the turbo hose 2 month ago with a silicone hose. Do you think it's possible to buy only the 2 other hoses.

Robbo great post
Now the intercooler fitted how did it improve engine performance?
Did it do anything to remove turbo lag?
I have the Decat done so would like to understand how much of a difference it makes.
Do you know if the intercooler fits with a hidden winch?

The intercooler allows the air to be at at a cooler temp all of the time even when under heavy load, which leads to a higher compression ratio with the compression of denser air in the cylinders
This give a better response from the engine so the car moves more responsively.
It is very noticeable low to mid range where the turbo is not making up for the lag.

Mine as mickey will testify flys like a rocket
You won't get a hidden winch in though as the space is filled with an intercooler, one of the G4 guys got a Alisport cooler for the winch fitting type FFRR SC 4.2
