My basic understanding of tuning - doesn't the boost need turning up when using a bigger intercooler, otherwise the performance will actually be worse - just seems to be what I have read elsewhere?
I guess with a BAS type remap this can be done easily, but would need to be taken into account when re-mapping.

Discocuzzy seems to be the only one doing any mud slinging.

I think the originator of this post offers a potentially useful mod, although I agree time will tell whether it's suitable for others. I am very interested.

Hi Work on my exhaust was carried out by RGS Motor Sport in Wellingborough 01933441451 these guys also fitted my intercooler,

To modify the exhaust they took off my exhaust and made a jig before cutting out the centre box then made the new pipes up on the jig, really is a nice job.

Next mod for my D3 is to have a single stainless exhaust running down the near side and posibly modifying the bumper to take a crome tail pipe simular to a jag xf style.

Also approached a company i do business with about making up a set of tubular turbo and intercooler pipes for me so watch this space ill let you all know how that works out.
