• T2 and stock IC worth it? by nokivasara on 10 Aug, 2007 13:22
• Im thinking of replacing the Eco-IP with a normal 9mm full-turbo LDA IP, and fitting a stock full-turbo Passat IC.
  Is it worth the effort considering my small turbo? Would 1.2bar increase the exhaust pressure too much?
  
  I can get an IP and the not-so-good IC VERY cheap but it still takes a bit of tinkering to mount it all.
  I´m not daydreaming about superhigh HP, it´s my daily driver and I need to keep it reliable, so it´ll come down to a slight mod of the boost pin and increased max fueling, but nothing else.
  Should I?

• 15psi is what I planned on, don´t want to stress the engine too much. My turbo is a Garrett T2, not K14.
  Thanks Andrew, I´ll call the IP seller today!
  
  If I have about 12psi of boost and fueling adjusted so it won´t smoke much, is it safe to drive without an IC for a while?
  
  Oh, and the kitty is taken care of already!

• I second using a good intercooler if you are planning on intercooling.
