its just plastic . cut it with whatever . tin snips work alright . hack saw also . someone whos showing off youlr use one of those airtools with the thin cutting disks . (ones with teeth not like a grinder)

your gonna have to take the bumper off to swap the intercoolers so when you try to put it back on if it hits on the core just trim those bits . trim as little as you can and make sure nothin is gonna rub on the core itself

the car is completely standard, iv only changed the air filters to the apexi power intake. In the next coming months i wanna change both turbos to put HKS GTR'S kit, on with 800cc sard injectors and fuel rail, get myself PFC for the car, buy HKS boost controller, keep the standard BOV and change the FMIC to maybe 80mm or 100mm, and other things i will need for the car.

that is my reason nismoid why i ask for help/advice

i think what he is getting at is why get a new intercooler if there are no plans for other mods i.e waste of money.. standard cooler will work fine. in your case with all those extra mods your doing, an intercooler would be necessary.

Not really, standard intercooler is good for 400rwkws

You planning on building a 3ltr or jap stroker @ some stage? 450rwkw+?

GT-RS's are a mighty big turbo, and from pretty much all consensus, far too big for a 2.6ltr... let alone a factory one :D

Also factory fuel rail is also fine for 400-440rwkw, same with the reg. Good number of people have done that.

Long term goals are all well and good, however if you don't plan to be making 450rwkw+ (read: spending 20-30k) in the next 12/18months, I'd forget about going turbos that big personally.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
