hi guys, haven't been able to find much talk about this. Looking at getting the plazmaman turbo side and battery relocation kits soon.

Now from what I understand it cant clear the stock intercooler piping. What has everyone done to work around this. Is it easier to just go with an intercooler upgrade now and save time later?

If you have the coin go the intercooler now, get a decent brand plaz/process west and it will be 100x better than the stock item

Otherwise you can just do the piping kit now and cooler later.

Be aware many say you need a tune when you chuck a new intercooler on or you can run into problems - I didn't even though I flogged it but I got it tuned in the next few days. I also know another guy that had an eBay cooler on his for months without a retune but it's possibly because the eBay cooler is so sh*t it's not much different to stock...

I've also been told turbo side kit on stock tune can cause overboost = higher compression ratio = could lead to knock = bent pistons .

And you will need either Plaz piping kit or PW one apparently just clears it (few mm).

Well good job! lol

I was all set on busting the turbo side for a while....but now I'll just hold out until a week or so before the tune ;)

I assume you will also get injectors sorted at same time?

Yep....but also venom cat pipe, kpm intank pump and then I'll get my valve springs done too (cause my cars will have 140,000kms+ by the time I tune).

Oh and the plazmaman 800hp intercooler as well :spoton:

I'm poor as sh*t, so its taken me literally yrs to save up and by things bit by bit. Chances are you'll probs get a tune before me :P
