What do you mean by modded? Heaps of people running stepped coolers and getting good results. If you're planning on anything over about 400 I'd suggest change to a turbo side intake ( hint hint ) and when running a full exhaust port your flapper or go external Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you trying to achieve? Will give me more chance to lead you in the right direction. Stepped cooler is still a good cooler unless you plan on going full on built engine the works, then going to kevs stage 3 would be the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely turbo side intake, full exhaust (4 inch) valve springs, 1000cc injectors, you MIGHT get away with your cooler.. Surge tank or big intank and GTX, 6235,6466,mta750/900 are all bolt on T3 turbos. Will be good for an easy 400 on 98/450+ E85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect around 380 on 98 Long story short Go turbo side Go the biggest cooler you can afford And to get a good turbo you don't need to spend crazy dollars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
