Ok...bad news is that I can't actually get to the intercooler or the pipes to measure properly unless I jack the car up etc etc.
The intercooler approx 76mm deep and excluding the end tanks 19" wide.
I'll get more details from forge asap.

Can i ask how the boost lag is. ie. is there a noticible difference to when boost comes on from before the fmic.
Does that make sense.

Its here and its official.
Its going to be priced at £599 inc vat.
On the intercooler, core size is 270mm high x 480mm wide x 60mm deep. Pipework is 50mm (stock is 45mm).
Mine is a prototype so your production one should be available soon. IMO is a very good price for it. Much cheaper than what was speculated, the APR one to anywhere, one its cousin's use and all in all a great piece.
There isn't any more lag at all. It feels like there is less of it if anything, the turbo whistle's more, the car gurgle's and it goes like stink in any weather now. Plus it just looks so good.

been on to forge today and im booked in, got the last one in the batch
they have 1 set of pipes left and the core of 1 intercooler, the one im having, so its on the list to be built over the next few days, im getting it fitted on the 7th august at forge, so quite a drive down there
the development manager chris lloyd said he wanted to save this one for a car with modified engine exhaust and software, to see the gains on a played with engine
got is at a great price too, love it, now just need to decide weather or not to have the forge logo put on the front for in between the grill slats
the kits for customers will be available in 5 ish weeks once the piping is made, as they only originally made 3 sets, so all get saving up
any opinions?
