    It's all about value for money. How much do you want to spend for a very marginal increase in engine output?

    checkout the are intercooler site (are.com.au ) . look at the patrol section . they list efficiency in percentages to give you an idea of what they can do .

    Thats where I got my taller OEM fit scoop from. Bloody expensive though, but now you can get the same thing for far less elsewhere.

    Totally agree Bill, that's why I've not done anything earlier.

    The A.R.E stats show IC efficiency. I don't know how much increase (HP/kW) in output that equates to. Also, their stats don't show how fast you have to be going to get the desired airflow through the IC. When I require extra HP I am usually travelling slowly (either off road or towing uphill) and I don't know how much the IC - let alone the scoop - comes in to play then.

    Again - it all comes down to a personal choice and how much extra cash you have to spend.

    I watched a video the other week with a guy from Diesel Tuning Australia. He said that a larger IC was a great idea as, as you just mentioned Bill, as you may need extra power when you're travelling slow & that is when your IC is getting the least amount of air into/through it, so a larger IC should be able to store & retain more air for a longer time, allowing it to cool more, than the standard IC.

    Sort of made sense to me.

    But then again you're looking at close to $2K for something that's hard to put a figure on how much benefit you get out of.

    I just searched for larger scoops for the std IC. There's tons available now. I looked maybe 2 years ago and couldn't find much at all.

    Think I'll go that way & keep the std IC.

    This site is a great resource for all things IC
    https://www.are.com.au/Inter/topMountIntercoolers.htm

    I have the standard scoop on a fully welded unit. Will probably get the stealth unit in the near future.

    just looked at how much the ARE Cooling scoops are. Holy Chit! I know it was dear but I don't remember paying that much for mine back in the day...

    Edit : found an old pic with the ARE scoop... Looks different now though...
