Had first test drive today,a lot more intake/turbo noise,fair bit more responsive,bit more power also,egt's marginally better,but not heaps maybe 25'c ? I didn't expect too much until it's tuned though,just need to find someone down here that knows what they're doing.Anyone got any recommendations?
Well it is, indirectly. Larger ic equates to lower egt's, which equates to you being able to squeeze more ponies from the engineQuote:

How do u rate that new flash intercooler of urs? Worth the extra dollars?
Having lower EGTs means you can pump more fuel in = more power.Quote:

so overall are you impressed or is it just the start of more mods to get it up and going??
if you only get 25C lower EGTs , a tune up might be the go, Lucas should know
someone down your way
Hopefully it's just the start,ufi 18g turbo and 12mm pump,just need to get over 2 hurdles,finance and the missus! But fairly happy at the moment,quality of the cooler is excellent,and now I've upped the boost to 14psi the egt's have dropped by about 100'c so yes I would do it all again on another vehicle.
Yeah all boils down to that financial minister eh lol
100c sounds well worth it and yes a stepping stone to more mods
Better start a build thread just in case it gets out of hand lol
