    Tidied up the last few bits this morning and took it for a run, works as expected, on a cool day I cant tell any performance difference with the bigger intercooler but that's to be expected. Now I've just got to resist the urge to get a tune for it.....

    A follow up on this, I haven't got a tune but with the same usage pattern my fuel economy definitely seems better with the new intercooler installed. Previously range was around 500 usable kilometers with the light coming on around 540. since the intercooler upgrade I seem to be able to get about 540KM pretty easily with the gauge reading at around 1/8 of a tank. Not very scientific at this point in time but I've been towing trailers and using the 130 differently over the last 6 months or so. I'll try and get some more info gathered as I settle back into a more comparable usage pattern.

    And another more scientific follow up, we did a jeep parts run on the weekend to pick up some bits, Yass - out to the farm - Gunning and freeway all the way to the central coast. 12.3l/100KM, I would have expected around 15l/100KM previously, running at 110KM/H plus with the aircon on. Central coast - Muswellbrook - Bylong Valley - Bathurst 11.9l/100KM. pretty good as well but slower running due to the road conditions so not as surprising. It seems the larger intercooler definitely improves the economy when the vehicle is working harder.
