intercooler too big also not good d, have to match your current engine setup.;)

 

[eterna22]

depending on your application, the 4g63 vr4 intercooler is good for up to 330hp-350hp before losing efficiency.

the evo intercoolers are good for up to 430hp-430hp.

so does that mean that the vr4 intercooler is not good for my gsr?

 

[eterna22]

no, what it means its good enough for your GSR.

the GSR ones are small and rescrictive. when you change to the VR4 one u will gain more torque.


make sure you good stainless steel piping.


2.5 inch would be ideal.


So you have to modify your VR4 intercooler's end tanks to fit 2.5

this is my second time saying that wastegate has got nothing to do with ur intercooler.

No, the evo 6 intercooler would be too big for your td04l .... u get lag ....

opt for VR4...best bang for buck. been there done that
