turborevs side intercooler Vs OEM
« on: 04 February 2012, 18:26 »
looking to upgrade my intercooler for one of the turbo revs side mount units, trying to keep the OEM look but still upgrade.
they seem like a good upgrade for £100, anyone using these with a remap & mods? wondered how they perform as I really dont want to go down the overkill fmic route
thanks

It ran the power fine but it did suffer from heatsoak. If you're not planning on going any further than around 225bhp they will be fine  :smiley:
