[QUOTE="alvin24, post: 918273, member: 63"] This is an often mistaken concept... that upgrading the intercooler will give u more power... it doesn't... changing to a bigger turbine or boosting higher in your existing turbine that which will require a bigger intercooler would... in other words, the intercooler 'itself' does not give u horse power. If you understand how turbo works... then you'll know that the intercooler is sort of like a 'support tool' for the turbo... the BEST is of course if u do not have an intercooler at all... but unfortunately, u'll blow ur engine before you know it because the air going in is too hot... the purpose of the intercooler is to cool the air up to an optimum level where the air is as cool as possible, while not disrupting the flow as much as possible... so obviously, there's always an 'optimum sized' intercooler for each engine/turbine/boost setup.
