Top work Sander! I'm also collecting the last parts for my supercharging project right now. Engine oil cooler + bigger charger oil cooler as the 10 row is under-dimensioned, I've read more than once. I bought my kit from Rich E in summer 2018 and finally I almost prepared everything to begin with the build. Thanks for the pics, these will be helpful for me.

Where did you get your inlet manifold from? Is it the one mechanical_repairs offered several years ago or is ist self-built?

Fantastic Sander keep the updates coming m8

Thanks guys! I don't have any updates planned, just improvements ;-)
Probably a better exhaust as this one is too loud & boomy and probably too restrictive.
Maybe a bigger restrictor, I hear going from 38mm to 39mm can be done safely.

@Joep; lets hope that happens soon! Last time it registered a healthy 170 horses & 200Nm much like the other RFS engines there that day.

I use it as a daily driver and compete with it in the Dutch Wimedo auto slalom / autocross competition, so I'm trying to find the sweet spot between daily driveability and squeezing as much torque and grip out of it for the track days.

As such, it already has:
- a 406 Brembo / Tarrox / DS2500 brake setup
- strut brace
- BakerBM adjustable top mounts set to -2.5 degrees negative camber
- BakerBM group N engine mounts (only the top ones)
- ApX adjustable coilovers, lowered it a bit allround
- Citroen (C5?) aluminium "aluminies" 15" rims with Federal 595 RS-R semi slicks for the track days
- 12mm spacers front and 16mm spacers rear for a better look
- 20mm spacers front on track days to make the rim clear the calipers
- Almost forget the Quaife diff, best upgrade of them all!

Looks neat in there, very subtle

Thanks Blandy, I'm happy with how it looks too. Simple shiny & black

PugFest, I'll have to think about it. I was supposed to go on holiday around that time but nothing is a sure thing these days. Looks like a nice roadtrip though!

Car is doing fine after 500km but I'm having issues with the exhaust. A local 'expert' gave me rather small muffler in the middle and a turbo style (chambered) muffler in the back, made a lot of noise and the drone on the highway was terrible. Went back to complain and their solution was to put a 2" equally small muffler in the middle and a 2" restrictor after the rear muffler. Supposedly this would keep the noise down and help with torque low down. So now I basically have a 2" exhaust that's indead less noisy but also noticeably less powerful. Looking for another company to do my exhaust now, one that specializes in supercharger conversions.

Intercooler is off the shelve; 450x230x65mm with 2.25" pipes. I got my stuff from Fmic.eu since they are the only ones in Europe supplying one sided superchargers for a decent price.

The IC maybe a bit oversized for low boost but this way I'm ready for any other upgrades I might do in the future. It cools perfectly. The hot side measures 75 degrees Celcius on the outside of the pipe, the cold side measures 20 degrees. The hot pipe is placed after the radiator so it might pick up some extra heat from that. However looking at this Wikipedia article 70 degrees is about the right air temperature for a low boost supercharger on the hot side of things.

I managed to squeeze 2.25" inch pipes + silicone joiners in between the radiator / aircon condensor and the frame. I did have to cut out a piece of metal from the thing that holds the headlights and I had to bend the edges of the frame somewhat. I also removed some bits of plastic from the radiator and removed a brace for one of the aircon pipes. I also made a custom fan shroud for my 10" Spal slimline fans to place the fans as close to the condensor as possible and I had to bend a few brackets for the condensor so I could move it 1 to 2cm closer to the radiator. Finally I cut a lot of plastic from the inside of the bumper. All this to make room the for the intercooler. I've added some pictures of the bumper cutting in the original post.

I went with the one sided intercooler because there's absolutely NO room on the left if you want to keep both aircon and power steering. The 106 EPAS pump is relatively cheap to acquire (my local wrecker had two) but placing it is a custom job as is the wiring. It is heavy though so I placed it as low as possible, also because the IC pipes needed to go up and over the pump.

So yes, you can go the right side way but you have to do a small amount of cutting and bending.

Some guy in the UK made a batch and I was lucky enough to get the last one. Round looks better than the square one in my opinion. With a bit of sanding and polishing it looks even better. Maybe ask around on the forum or FB to see id someone has one.

Thanks for your thorough explanation. Really helps me with the preparation. Is it absolutely not possible to go through the left side with one ic pipe like in this setup?

I ask because I already have a single pass intercooler. Where do you see the problem? If I need to cut metal anyway, I can do that on the left side as well to get around the condenser. Or is there no room due to the aircon pump?

Regarding your exhaust: Did you have a look at the Jetex cat-back system? Afaik this is the quietest aftermarket 'sport' exhaust system for the '6. It is 2,5" although I've read that it has a bottleneck of 2,25 inch somewhere near the cat. You can buy it from Friedrich Motorsport with EG approval and a tail pipe of your choice. They have a 15% discount code until 13 April.

So, contacted my exhaust guy to complain about the noise and he's convinced a quiet 2.5" free flowing exhaust has mufflers that are 2" internally. Looking for pictures of 2.5" exhausts to prove him wrong 😅 So please share you pics! I'm thinking of Jetex / Blueflame levels of quiet.

Not for track days
My twin box Edwards Manifold /exhaust is 89dbs but my induction sound is like 180

Fair point on both
Here’s mine without Sequencial
