GT2 Front Bumper Conversion Part Numbers

[BigBadBen]

Hi Loren,

I sent you a PM asking if you had a complete parts list breakdown for the conversion of my 02 TT to the GT2 front bumper, including all brackets and hoses required to move the center radiator. Regular parts not the CF ones.

Do you kindly have this PN list by chance.

TIA

I sent you a reply by PM. The cooling system list is 16 pages and you will need to go through it and subsitute the GT2 parts (they are marked) for TT parts.

Here is the GT2 bumper parts list:

hmmm...i have an '03 TT and just switched from standard front bumper to an after market GT2 nose, and just changed the skins. i didn't move any hoses or radiators, and it didn't seem necessary, especially since the openings are in roughly the same spots. am i missing something?

curious.

The rad hoses will eventually blow off or work themselves loose as you go over big bumps if you moved the the center radiator to the correct position. The stock TT hoses are about 1 "shorter than the GT2 hoses which is why they have different part numbers. The hoses will come loose as the hoses are stretched to make them fit to the new rad position. I would be keep an eye on it so I have been told. I cannot afford the hoses to come off my GT700 at high speed, I also live in the middle of nowhere which is another reason I want to do this right.

i only changed the bumper cover, and didn't touch the radiators or hoses or anything. i'll post-up a pic or two once my camera is recharged. hoses coming loose sounds bad, especially when you drive like i do. a simple hose could turn into a funeral real quickly ;)

Then you don't have to worry as the air is still directed under the car. When you do the compete GT2 conversion the center radiator is moved forward and to the left I think so that the air can be directed vertically through the grill on the to of the bumper. Thats why you need new hoses, brackets etc per the GT2 setup. As you did not move the radiator then everything will be OK. I want to get the benefit of the complete GT2 setup to provide additional cooling for my GT700.

You are good to go. :)

Please forgive my ignorance but is it possible to clarify which parts I need from this list as I'm pretty sure I'll do this conversion. I don't see the GT2 Rad hoses on that list either so I'm a little confused.

Any help much appreciated.

You cannot use the GT2 rad hoses they are a three way or Y hose. You have to get another set of turbo hoses (use hose clamps and a couple) and cut the ends off so you can tilt the radiator forward. You will also have to turn the radiator upside down to make it work plus re-locate the horns as they get in the way....its a fiddly job that I am just finishing up... Talk to Mike at Carlsen Pocrche in Cali, mention my name..he will fill you in on the parts you need. I got all my stuff from him.
