What's the best size for an intercooler I have one all plumed in etc but its not as big as every one seems to use its off a suzuki cappicino thing but fits good behind the grill on the metro where the oil cooler normally goes is any intercooler beter than none or does it not work like that? Thanks scott

That's what I thought outs better than nout. Boost will be max 15psi probably only about 12 really but can always upgrade later I thought a good position in good air flow is better that a big intercooler with no air flow |

Big intercoolers can give a larger pressure drop too though, so it's better to size fairly accurately. On 7th Nov, 2011 apbellamy said:

no no no no, you need more boost! you can never ever come on here and say I have enough boost, that's just silly. On 29th Mar, 2010 Star Mag said:

bigger what way though, long thin inter coolers (like mine) will drop more pressure than short wide ones, On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

Its actually already black as std on the same lines as a mr2 cooler is putting a intake temp gauge a hard job? What sender do you use & what do you use to display the reading? Like Gauge wise? |

Thanks for the link when I seen the pic on the site I remember getting something like it with a job lot of stuff had a hunt found it hurry just what I needed next question do you just have the sensor end sort of hanging in the inlet pipe where it joins the plenum & have the wires just coming out from the silicon hose join if you catch me drift thanks for the help |

Yeah just put the end under a jubilee poking into the hose near the plenum, youll probably have to extend the probes wiring though as its really short On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:
