The slats allow air to the small radiator that supplies cool water to the water cooled intercooler for the high pressure turbo. It has a separate expansion tank near the brake fluid reservoir. The rad has a small fan behind it and the system has an electrical pump near the bottom of the engine radiator. The whole system is independent and isolated from the engine cooling system. The low pressure (big one) turbo is air cooled and uses the intercooler in front of the radiator. 2 turbos 2 separate intercoolers. On the biturbo Astra the intercooler is split in two with one half cooling the air to the low pressure turbo and the other cooling air to the high pressure turbo, both supplies are separate.

The Astra was packaged this way due to confinements on engine space but I would also imagine that it is cheaper to do it this way. On another note. Am I the only one but do all other biturbo owners have a 'SAAB' branded pipe from the air filter to the turbo? Legacy of their earlier partnership!

I have 'taken' this site for info for a couple of years so its time I started 'giving'. Your more than welcome. I posted regarding a crack on the bottom mount on the intercooler for the high pressure turbo, I don't know if this is a common fault but loosing a small amount of boost pressure and metered air so engine over-fueling and doing frequent DPF regens. Keep an eye out. Mines a 2012 with lots of miles. Getting it fixed under warranty.

thanks velcro,,even though mines a very early 13, it's still a low miler, just over 20k,,,but will bear info in mind in future2015 Sri vx line nav BiTurbo . Sri heated leather.5500k AFL .
