more economy better power runs cooler! how?

fix the leak in my intercoooler

always noticed oily stains around he intercooler , just before bugjam i got a good used intercooler fitted.
I could not believe the difference in extra power, that a split you could not see would make.
over the 1000 miles or so, we averaged over 40 mpg @70-80mph this is better than 37mpg previous , we also had the temperature needle noticably lower.

my old intercooler must have been split when i fitted it .
so ive been running low power for over 6 years

have you got any pictures of your intercooler setup?

My bus is a 1.6td golf engine and it gets 30-32mpg! 1600 gearbox mind but I'd still expect a bit more as i cruise at more 55-60mph not 70-80mph!

I been meaning to intercool for a while but havent had any real ideas on the best place to fit it.

id go for a charge cooler mate in the back of a bus. to get to an area where you would get cool air to run over an intercooler, you would need really long pipework and reduce pressure. go for a sneaky little charge cooler in your engine bay. then run some pipes to a rad on the left side under your bus.
that the way ive seen on a few conversions, hence the reason why mine is going to be charge cooled on my aaz
