Hi all

I just need advice , can i put a front mountintercooler on my 98 uk turbo before i get rd to remaping the car ?.at the mo i have a aps in wing induction kit , exhaust with tsl group n back back and dawes device, forge dump valve.
I am researching a differnt turbo aswell .

Cheers DAN

how did it go sam ?, people have said that it runs worse ?, or is that all a load of crap they are speaking ?.

front mount will cause a bit more lag as there is a lot more air to get moving when you put your foot down. you should get lower intake temps and be able to run more boost safely so it is a good idea to get it done then mapped, not vice versa. in fact, it's a good idea to get everything you're planning done before a remap.

 

Watch out though, you have that APS cold air kit in the wing, this could cause you to run a bit lean already.

Take it easy

I would personally ditch the dawes and just connect the compressor nipple to the actuator direct and run it around 0.5 bar in the mean time.

 

It was ok..i actually changed to a td05 and a fmic, then had a map near a month later along side the injector change...just took it easy, and yes it was laggy and still is...though you tend to get use to it... ;-)

 

Thanks all for advice much needed .

Please explain Mr Hhxx ?, it feels fine at the mo ?.

(I ask the above because i have been runing it like this for a while ?.)
