G6ET8U Playing with Sports Bikes... Silver Donating Members 1,927 Member For: 19y 6m 14d Gender: Male Location: Whistling, GTX. Posted 03/12/05 08:02 AM Share Posted 03/12/05 08:02 AM Hey guys...As I have a T5 and don't wanna lunch my T5 by having a world of torque kill it, I was thinking of getting an edit done but having a more efficent intercooler fitted at the same time, rather than injectors and valve springs... as I think the intercooler will make the edit more repeatable performance wise...Has anyone done this?Because I figure I can do valve springs and injectors and transmission upgrade later on if I want to, but I think from reading all the posts about performance and stuff that the valve springs and injectors will take me too close to edge of killing my T5... whereas an edit and 'cooler will make my car repeatable perfomance wise and also more efficient to drive regardless of the weather be it hot or cold...What do you guys think? Am I mad? Do I not know what I am on about? Or is this a plausable 1st modification?CheersJack Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21756-first-mods-for-my-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start...

The cooler would probably give you a few more kw's aswell as that repeatable performance your after.

It would Smash a T5.GC Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21756-first-mods-for-my-car/#findComment-321717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't... I reckon you boys are right... repeatable performance is what I am after, not a dyno queen or track weapon yet... just something that when I wake up in the morning for work I can't wait to drive to...Jack Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21756-first-mods-for-my-car/#findComment-321718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPHOON Donating Members 1,776 Member For: 21y 10m 16d Posted 03/12/05 12:06 PM Share Posted 03/12/05 12:06 PM A very good first option.I would suggest that you start with the cheapest and open up the air intake before the IC and edit.Also, TELL YOUR TUNER that you are looking for longevity rather than max power and torque. That way you will be fine. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21756-first-mods-for-my-car/#findComment-321750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
