I dont really hit it that hard often just a squirt here and there.. Lag might b the only prob with the standard piping and cooler, right??

Bad Apples Donating Members 110 Member For: 19y 6m 29d Gender: Male Posted 21/01/10 08:38 AM Share Posted 21/01/10 08:38 AM Not really.... The smaller volume of the stock intercooler actually helps reduce lag. the issue it that one it has heated up, it's not very good at cooling the air to the intake. dyno runs show this, so the intercooler heats up after about 15 seconds. if you only want to give it a 15 second squirt every 5 minutes, it's probably not too much of an issue.However! the improved piping and intercooler kits available all flow better (less pressure drop for a given flow) so the turbo doesn't have to work as hard to deliver any given pressure to the throttle body, this mean better throttle response, better peak power and at any given boost, the intake air isn't heated as much, so the intercooler has to do less! (who'd have thought a bigger intercooler might result in less heat rejection!).So the advantages are significant... But if you can't justify the coin, just be aware of limitation of the equipment you have.I recommend getting the work you have suggested. If you get bitten by the mod bug you won't have to re-purchase anything but dyno time - and that's a pretty small expense.Cheers,Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a few Typhoon coolers go cheap. Maybe even a monza if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
