Default What will happen if ...........

Straight to the point .I have a 1994 L reg import wagon ... What will happen if i put a front mount intercooler on the car thats got a standard ECU , Standard TD04 Turbo , induction kit , dump valve and later 97spec intercooler , will it need mapping ? or is it worth putting the Z4 ecu i have laying about ? or do i need a bigger turbo first ?

the front mount wont make much difference IMO. the z4 will not work with the td04 you have. you will need to fit a td05 from a saloon.
with the z4 ecu, td05 and front mount expect about 260-270 bhp.
your car as it stands with td04 and 3b ecu will be about 220bhp

expect more turbo lag mate! unless your mapping the car!!
i wouldnt bother with the front mount if your only looking around 300bhp mark as your intercooler will cope with that!

basically your td04 will struggle to fill the cooler with air, and it will feel laggier!
