Almost wanna sell up and do it yet again lolDon't mess about with your cooler selection.I'm not saying anything bad about other brands, just saying which intercooler I would choose if I had my time again.

Most likely will head in that direction but im hoping to get 300-350 rwkw MAX.I was just curious if the HDi Cooler will do the job or should I just get a P.W cooler.

Lucky, actually.I now have a PW stage 1. It keeps the stock engine piping so the cops don't bother me ( the main reason for not going any further). It works well, supplies repeatable power and is a neat fit. Bux wise, it is affordable and the kit arrives on time, complete and with all instructions. There are competitors of course but good welding and finish makes me excited... exit two from the listDo your sums, find a tuner. Then: Change the I/C for a good unit that is named on the forum, big time injectors, change the pump, do the F6 intake ( cheap as these days) and do the dump and cat with a stock system.Unless you are used to hi-po cars, the end result will make your eyballs stand on end.

I was stoked at how well it went. The 1st bits to get over 300 are relatively cheap, just don't skimp on the cooler and you'll have your cake and eat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
