turbo setup

nowt to do with skoda's at all

on my little sh!tbox nova project wotsit i have decided to fit an intercooler as i was told it don't have one as standard.

where does it go? i want to do away with the standard airbox completely as i have a k&n cone sitting about doing nothing. so i want to fit the kona somewhere relatively cool, where do i go from here? does the intercooler go inline with the turbo or does the intercooler go between the turbo and the engine?

also does anybody have any recommendations on what to use to pipe the air intake?

TIA ben

Between turbo and engine so it goes intake -> turbo -> intercooler -> engine

Pre turbo you can use any pipe rated up to the right temp, post turbo you need something capable of resisting the pressure too - like Samco.

What Nova has a turbo on then?

1.5td

got the intercooler from a scrappy along with a new fuel filter(complete) for £20

just need to sort out the piping now and the charge should be cooler and stronger. the standard filter is sat ontop of the head so it probably gets super hot, stupid design really

my mate used samco bends and alloy exhaust tube when he piped up his 2.0T nona

You'll need an "i" as well...
