QUICK INTERCOOLER QUESTION 3dr COS
What amount of power can you run using a standard intercooler on a 3dr?
would you get 390bhp using one or would it have to be an rs500 type cooler to get that amount of power?
Thanx

As above---though i think you MAY get away with a 4X4 one for that power level depending on the amount of boost you run

Im asking the question as i personally dont think you can,part of producing more bhp is air flow and surely this is resricted to a certain degree on a standard intercooler?
I may be wrong but would like to know

No , but if you wanna go further in future it helps , and if you get closed loop ( L8 ) fitted i don't think fuel will be too bad
more than likely my next step, not sure which injectors though, i'll leave that up to Stu

Not a hope in hell
, unless the weather was constantly -10°C
.
4x4 intercooler as a MINIMUM (and even this will be found wanting at that power level in high ambient temps).
