pretty sure cores are ally, if its heavy, its steel, if its relatively light, its ally, huge difference in wait between em

Pipework autosol, core just turn it around bet you the other side will be like new.

cant turn the intercooler around as then the brackets will b wrong stickin out the front not under the front cross member like they should b lol blitz kits are all alloy apart from the part from the turbo thts mild steel.

Yup you can had the kit before very easy to turn the core around.

u can c in the pic tht the brackets are welded on to the bottom of intercooler

 

[aaronw]

might have to make longer brackets then,they would be behind the bottom lip of the glanza /gt so wouldnt be seen.

All Purpose Cleaner/Degreaser and then rinse with water followed by Autosol as stated.

Thanks for all the info lads the reason i asked what material is was because the top bracket was snaped off but thanks again

What about the actually intercooler bit itself?
How do ya clean that?

Stick a coat of silver spray on the core, I cant see a layer of spray effecting its thermal efficiency in any measurable amount.

What about a belt of a power washer??

Then i'd need the Blitz cut-out to spray it back in

You will probably bend the fins if you go too close, just give it a spray I done mine when it went mankey easy peasy.
