I bought a front mount intercooler and installed it and now the car sounds like it is choking on air. The RPMs won't go over 2,000 and it sounds like it drowns itself in petrol. I have no idea why this is happening can anyone help. :(

Have you plumbed it in correctly, do you have any photos? and what front mount is it.

Post a pic. You might done pipes wrong way

someone else had these symptoms and it was because they had it pumbed up wrong.

Swop the two pipes on the Right and side around ...

Although it sounds like that, might be a good idea to find out what hes done first just to confirm it. lol

You need to swap the pipes over on 1 side ..Lee

Does it matter which side?

No m8..Shall be fine:)

No .. long as the pipes on the IC on one side is swapped over

Awesome, cheers mate. Jake :)

yeah i did the same thing, same intercooler too, just swap the pipes on one side,

 

but mines up the other way??? did you have any problems getting the bumper to fit afterwards?

Pipes need swapping on one side by the looks of it, surprised only me as spotted it :detective:

Cheers for all the help. :)

Isnt it upside down too,thought the top elbows would be angled down not the other way around.

Should look like this, the correct way up and the pipes correctly fitted.

I think it's upside down and the pipes are wrong on 1 side.

Rotate it 90 degrees and bung one of the pipes up.
