Bit difficult to run twin pass on a cossie mate - twin pass enters and exits on the same side of the cooler (in most cases)

not for me Rich, cheers just curious at how a twin pass will perform compared to a single pass intercooler, lets say for example on rst running 200bhp

so when ya say limit flow capacity, you mean restricting air into the engine? what will this result in? a boost drop?
I thought the GRS items were twin pass? do u experience a drop with these?

flow capacity as in how much air it can flow because the ic is split into 2 halfs it limmits how much flows through, pro alloy actually raises boost drop slightly as far as im aware because its so efficient and makes the air more dense, GRS i aitn sure about a boost drop sorry. check out the pro alloy post shuld be on page 2, 3, 4 was on last night.
