T2 cooling
Turbo Mini Forums

As the T2 is water cooled, would it be of any advantage to put a heater element for further cooling before the Turbo obviously in the air stream to cool it further? I'm know expert, But just an idea.
thanks mark

What radiator are you running?

I use a front mount rad and have no cooling probs at all, maybe with a side mount you may need some extra help.

im running a minispares ultra superduper totally awesome 2 core, or what ever they call it, its doing fine with the temp for me

i supppose putting a heater matrix in there would keep down temps, but more pipe work and space would be required, and i dont think its really needed

i'm still currently in the process of building, but i will be using a side mounted 2 core. Just thought that the heater element in place just before the water inlet pipe of the turbo would help keep the turbo even cooler helping to prolong the life of the turbo at high boost.

Thanks Nic, yea taking more space than is needed is probably not a good idea!
