That IC looks a bit nasty but I have no doubt it will work a lot better than the standard one due to its surface area. I'd get yourself a budget and then go from there but for only about $3k you could see the little turbo peaking its tits off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They flow well and support about 300-320 rwkw. Both me and a mate have bought them and had no problems with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 8m 6d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 21/01/13 06:24 AM Share Posted 21/01/13 06:24 AM You need it to cool well too. Flow is only a part of it.This is why the Monza coolers do give an improvement that can't be sustained run after run. They flow well, but can't cool for sh*t!

Dubboxr6 Member 18 Member For: 17y 14d Posted 21/01/13 11:49 AM Author Share Posted 21/01/13 11:49 AM Thx for the replies guys Yeah I've done a k&n, xr8 intake, 100cell cat already and I'm dropping the car in for a tune next week, xcal custom dyno etc. Don't want massive gains bout 280rwkw should be ok. It's just that the inter piping is knackered and I don't like those expensive I/cooler kits because they rob front end ground clearance( and I need every mm I can get on my local dirt roads). Maybe a std f6 might give me what I need, can't seem to find one though Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
