Default 4x4 intercooler questions....

first i want to say a hello from lovely vienna

i drive a saph 4x4 with a SUHE 293 kit (green injectors, superchip, actuator, original exhaust without kat's ), original T3 turbo and intercooler, boost is set to 1,3 -1,5 bar.

on very hot days (above 25°C) and driving (or almost standing) in city, sometimes it misfires, depends on how old the sparks are...

to keep the intake air colder, i'm thinking about some uprades:

1) change to the watercooled escort intercooler. is this worth it?

2) change to the watercooled escort intercooler with a separate cooling system.

3) change to a "RS 500" intercooler. i have seen, they are available in several depth's. my cossie has air-condition, so i think its a problem to fit both, the rs500 intercooler and the air-condition radiator . i think there is not enough space.

is it a problem to fot the escort cooler to the sierra, do i have to cut someting away on the front panel?

what do you think is the best upgrade, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of the three possibilities?

kind regard
