I'm on the "mesh it" side !!

But if you've got a set-up that supports the installation of a low cost intercooler ( eg Just Jap one ) then who needs mesh ?? Just replace the cooler every year if required.

I've got a Trust V-SPL so a piece of mesh works out a whole lot cheaper than a new cooler for me.

As far as the "show" factor is concerned, let's be honest, having a big shinny intercooler up front means almost nothing now days. It's like having a cannon hanging out the back. When every second Hyundai Excel that drives by has one, it's no longer cool !! :P

I had mesh on mine before i fitted the cooler, and now i am leaving it on coz i know how many assgroppers and butterflies got stuck before and i dont want them in my cooler. This pic is pre cooler, now its in you can still see it through the mesh

    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
