Well the dealer called and they have the Turbo to IC hose, so I will have all the stuff I need to install the intercooler this weekend. I even fixed up the used Viggen intercooler I got. One of the mounting tabs was broken. So I made one out of aluminum and attached with stainless bolts (See pics below).:cheesy:
FYI: This is the first time for me to drain coolant out of any car, so forgive my lack of knowledge.
I plan on draining the rad by removing the lower rad hose. I plan on using a vise grip to clamp it off so I have time to orient the drain to something that will not make a mess.
1. Do you guys reuse the coolant if you catch it in a clean jug/pail? Or should I mix up new coolant? How much can I expect I will need? (My coolant is 2 years old.)
2. After the IC is installed. Do I have to reset the ECU? Do I set up the MBC+A from the start??
3. Can the ECU be reset by taking the connection off the battery? (I don't mind since I should clean the contacts anyway)
4. Anything else I should be aware of???
With these answers I hope this will be a fun and easy project.
