Title: Another intercooler post
Post by: Dalo Harkin on 28 June 2012, 07:57
What size is the tubing on the standard smic?
reason I ask is that I am looking at an intercooler with 3'' inlet and outlet, am I going to have to step it down somewhere and is 3'' overkill for a modded K03s? as in will it cause laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

that was my plan if I had to step it down, but would it not just make sense to get a core with 2.5'' inlet/outlet if thats what the original tubing is?
