Another dumb question. Can top mounts be recored? A lot of the fins are actually broken and it looks ugly as

Bit of a major ****around, why not just use it as an excuse to shoehorn a STI one in there and make a splitter extension.

Use a sharp screw driver and pick/chisel the intire first louver /2 mm off the top of every bit of core .

With a bit of practice it can be done quite fast and look good . Yea youve lost 2mm of fin . But it was doing nothing more than looking ugly and blocking airflow

I started doing what Andy_Mac said and ended up resorting to what lachlan said.

Losing one layer of fins is better for charge temps than having no flow through your intercooler because all the fins are bent, IMO. Once the top layer is gone it's a lot more resistant to being damaged again as well.

I have heard rumours of a "fin straightening comb " dunno if it actually exists . And youd need the right pitch

Zenki had a line on one. As he was talking about buying one specifically for fixing the intercooler. Obviously he didn't buy it but yeah lol, maybe he can chime in on it.

Na those won't really work. Use them for condensers at work. Would only be usefull on coils where the fins run in one direction, the fins on the sti one atleast has each fin zigzagging its way across the coil. Unless there is a different type that caters to the automotive style coils.

Can get them from any refrig supplier like Pattons or Realcold, assuming they'll do cash deals.

Tweezers. Wide flat ones. You'll be there a while but they work incredibly well, just get the fin roughly the right shape with a small flathead screwdriver then grab it about 1cm down with the tweezers and slide them up off the fin.

There is reason behind why they sell oil at astronomic prices and then put it on massive sales. Simple corporate bull****.

X amount of suppliers who all need their x amount of their product sold p/a. So every month 4/5 oils are sold at an unrealistic retail and the other is sold at xx% off that unrealistic retail. So if people purchase any of the 4/5 oils its win win but its more likely for the 1/5 oil to be sold. That 1/5 product is calculated for a certain projected volume of sales at a specific margin.

Youll see that model everywhere even at progressive etc.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
