Having already had a stainless system fitted and a tune up at Willall Racing here in Adelaide, now looking at upgrading the intercooler and could do with some guidance.I have seen a upgrade on ,dare I say it , ebay . Its a Autotechnica and suggest an increase of 20kw. What I would like to know is, has anyone used this intercoole?r, is it worth the mod,? can I expect an increase in power? will the car need retuning?Thanks in advance for replysDavo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81939-fg-intercooler-upgrade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much I don't know..nobody really know's how much better or worse I should say of a job that it will do in comparison to some of the bigger/expensive ones on the market. I've seen 2 or 3 people fit them on here but don't know results. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81939-fg-intercooler-upgrade/#findComment-1295435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 22d Posted 01/11/12 10:28 PM Share Posted 01/11/12 10:28 PM Most guys seem to say its alright to drive around with a new cooler without a tune but they recommend getting it checked first because the core is so much bigger the amount of boost trying to fill it as opposed to standard might not be enough and the car will feel laggier. Better to be safe than sorry but probably get a tune fairly soon after 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81939-fg-intercooler-upgrade/#findComment-1319091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is SA though!
