Re: Intercooler 850

it's just not practical - you can't move the current IC, so it will stay redundant in its current position ecven after you fit a bigger IC, presumably lower down. then again, it's not likely you will need additional cooling of the exos gasses unless you reelly boost your turbo. but you CAN'T go above 1.2bar/approx 300hp, else your conrods will bend.

so end of the day, if you simply want a cooler running engine, go install a water injection kit, not an IC.

just my thots

btw i didnt get better power from the spearco, but i got sumthing like 30percent better fuel economy on h/way drives.
