Garfield Member 17 Member For: 18y 9m 6d Location: Brisbane Posted 16/10/06 07:17 AM Share Posted 16/10/06 07:17 AM Hi, I'm thinking of fitting a different intercooler which the only mod is a cat back exhaust system. I only at present want to put it on for the looks, but as time goes on I will begin to add further mods.My question is: can a aftermarket intercooler be run with the factory tune?

Was it valve springs, as I don't think my MKII got them. Or was it due to Ford's ECU settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffered overboost every so often at high altitude and cold nights.My MkII sedan SEP/05, full X-force 3.5 exhaust, 3.5 dump, ASE cooler, Unifilter rampod + 2nd CAI, stock ECU. D-PIC estimated 210 rwkw. No overboost errors, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie Powerchip, edit,etc etc. Can they learn and adapt like when they are stock?Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has SS Induction, K&N filter and rear muffler removed and replaced with straight pipe, and he added the Hybrid intercooler kit (larger cooler and new piping), and no problems. Since then he added the 2nd CAI (Typhoon style). And now a flash tune, he ran the generic 8psi without any issues, but once he tried the generic 10psi at about 4,000rpm it was going funny and the revs would drop out, pulled out the Iridium spark plugs, and fitted some regapped NGK standard type's, Capa told him the part number and gap setting, and said it's fine now.
