Default Intercooler Question...

When upgrading an intercooler. What are the main do's and don'ts?

For example, could i put a Evo 6 Larger intercooler on my S2 RST? Using reducer pipes (if needed)

Im not too educated on presssures, acts, sizes etc...

Any help would be great

Yes you can.

Go for it.

Bigger the better.

Any theoretical downsides are rarely if at all felt in reality.

Evo intercoolers are decent actually, so if you can get it to fit, go for it.

As said, the bigger the cooler the lower the act's, possibly lag with it, depends really on the spec of the engine you have in the car. Room is also an issue, if your handy with the hacksaw, then hack away my friend, hack away

in theory yes.

theory and reality are often worlds apart in car terms.
