Fuckin hell mark thats wank mate tell him you want the repairs paid for and the cost of a respray!!! Don't go through the insurance cos they will write it off and an rs turbo on the register is worth about as much as a Q plate

been a long time coming but i actually remembered to pick up my results and graphs from when i went on the intercooler testing day
with the pace cooler fitted it made 184bhp @ 5333 and 187lbf @ 4695
did 2 runs with that but didnt get any temp readings
then tried double capacity cooler and twin pass cooler
so after 6 runs things were fucking hot under under the bonnet
then it came time to fit the prototype single pass cooler
the car made 184.9bhp@5510 and 189lbf@4646
but this is the best bit
at the start of the test inlet temps were 108.26 in and 30.89 out
at 100 seconds on peak boost 118 in and 36 out
at 200 seconds on spool down 60 in and 33 out
on peak boost it cooled buy 86 degrees and did not effect boost levels as twin passes sometimes do
needless to say i was mighty impressed with my car considering what little work had been dont was was set up at grove garage to run 14psi with that fuel mod thing they do, only had zorst, -31, chip and filter (to my knowledge)
be nice to see what the cooler will do my power in un-heat socked conditions.
i have a graph its not very clear tho so dunno how it'll scann

It would be very interesting to have inlet and outlet pressure.
I have not seen actual intercooler testing where inlet/outlet temperatures
and pressure was documented.
It would be great to see what the pressure loss was for a single pass vs. a dual pass intercooler.
Keep up the good work!

didnt do that only had normal dyno runs but we made some pipe up to mont 2 thermo couples in for getTING inlet and out et temps
as far as i no hes the only person with testing results for the coolers hes selling
when we do go back we will no what to test for
ambient temp
inlet temp
outlet temp
inlet boost
outlet boost
as i mentioned tho the twin pass i tested did restrict boost slightly but because this is single pass there is minimal restriction
if anyones interested plesae PM me don't feel my thread up plesae modz dont like it!
