W2A Intercooler - Revised Setup


Whilst re-installing everything again i revised over some parts and was simply not happy with the way they looked so i decided to invest more time into making these look better.

First up was the Water to Air intercooler system. Everything was reasonably neat but i didnt like the location and the look of the water reservoir and water overflow bottle, so i scrapped them both. The radiator cap was of the design that didn't need an overflow tank which made that easy but i still needed a way to fill the W2A system. I found an inline remote filler cap from frozenboost.com, which had the perfect size outlets for my system and mounted that just off the fuel rail as it needed to be at the highest point of the system, or close to. :P

This replaced the water reservoir and all that was left to do was re-route the radiator to filler cap hose and reconnect the exchanger to the filler cap with some cut up 20mm radiator hose.

As you will see, i modified the photos to include flow directions and the parts used in my Water to Air intercooler system to make things easier to understand or identify.



The complete system
