Pace Chargecooler/Intercooler?
Hi guys,
I just got my european STi MY05 and I'm thinking of a mild update of power within the next 6 months. Fairly sold on TSL's 333 conversion, I was also considering the merrits of popping a Pace Products Chargecooler/Intercooler on at the same time, possibly netting a few extra horses in the bargain. I take it most of you will think this is a waste of cash (and to be honest 1275 isn't realy spare change) but bare in mind I live in Crete during the summer and mid-day temperatures of 35+ C aren't uncommon. Don't even ask what the car feels like when the heat is on, I swear it's slower than a Civic Type R a colleague of mine has.
With this in mind, I was thinking about popping the Pace on, if nothing else to keep my engine running cooler in the summer. Has anyone installed one of these? Is Pace products reliable, or am I going to spend my evenings with a welding torch patching up shoddy aluminium? Is there realy any noticeable drop in intake temperature? Any feedback welcome!
Thanks
