Re: intercooler on ze 5psi setup?

Re: intercooler on ze 5psi setup?
I would get an intercooler. What type of wastegate do you have to regulate 5psi? That sounds pretty low. It better be a large external w/ a wussy spring.
Re: intercooler on ze 5psi setup?
Yes having an intercooler is better than not ,,, but depending on your turbo, driving conditions, and future plans.. For the time being i would say no.
I look at your situation this way spend around 300 on parts(cheap intercooler, pipes, and couplers) then routing piping.. Big Pain In the a-- and a decent amount of time
Or focus on things that really are going to make a difference.. I would start up a megasquirt setup especially if you are focusing on 300bhp... At your stage management is way more important than cooler air...
Fuel delivary is the big concern 280's with a fuel pump and managment and why not run 10 psi
