I'm wondering what the effectiveness of the stock GTD intercooler set up is? I like it cause its hidden in a nice spot. Also how much do you think that whole set up is worth $$? Thanks.
the STI intercooler might be good for 350hp in a gasser, but certainly not in a diesel.
do go on.
why is this?
3 inlets, 3 inch deep core; crossflow design. It's around a foot by 10 inches...
I think what gldgti is getting at is the fact that diesels need more airflow for a given hp level than a gasser. It's just a consequence of the fact that diesel engines usually have to run lean of stoich.
My money is on the dodge neon SRT4 intercooler. Looks decent, aluminum end tanks, and apparently fits very well in a late westy mk1.
