Best oem intercooler for HDI - boggs - 31-03-2016 I have tried to do a few searches on this subject but I havnt found too much. I am looking to add a front mount intercooler to my HDI although I want to do it for as cheap as possible really. The piping size I want to go for is 2.25 and I want a largish intercooler (large for oem) medium sized for aftermarket really. I was wondering what oem options do I have I don't want any with plastic ends etc. Thanks RE: Best oem intercooler for HDI - tigerstyle - 31-03-2016 Just go aftermarket, 2.25" and an 'MX5 Medium (large?)' intercooler Everything is oem once the bumper is back on and bonnet shut!

That's a nice size that I would ideally be looking to use. I meant large for oem as most factory standard fitted intercoolers tend to be small, were as large in aftermarket intercoolers often means huge lol Thanks for your reply RE: Best oem intercooler for HDI - Poodle - 01-04-2016 There aren't many oem ones that fit well, you'll struggle to find one with 2.25" outlets in a suitable place, size, shape and connection type. Plus new aftermarket coolers are often cheaper than used oem ones anyway. RE: Best oem intercooler for HDI - toseland - 01-04-2016 2.25 is overly large, pressure and flow will be restricted at I let anyway so might as well go for 51mm and save a fortune RE: Best oem intercooler for HDI - welshpug - 01-04-2016 not sure you even need a cooler that big on a small engine? my 2.5 makes 180 bhp on one about a third the size. PD150 golfs run 2 bar through one about a third the size too!

It was cheap and I fancied a challenge, if you're going to cut up the front of your car you might as well do it properly! and lets be honest, an old 306, not worth much so not much to lose!
