hi,

Just fitted a sti intecooler to my uk turbo.

It does feel like it pulls a lot harder.

Is there a bhp increase or is it all in my mind?

Cheers

probly better air flow and cooling wont notice any bhp gains until a remap

 

It's true to say that you would need a remap to get the most out of your upgrade but it is not true to say that you'll need a remap to spot *any* differences.

There should be a power increase of some sort, due to the cooler (denser) intake charge and the lower pressure drop across the I/C, along with possible side benefits like a reduction in knock correction. Impossible to say how big this increase would be without putting the car on a rolling road in both "before" and "after" configurations, but, noticeable or not, there should be a difference, so while some of it may be in your mind, some of what you're feeling is likely to be real.

thats what i thought.

i no a remap will get the most out of it.

but a simtek with the dogs on it is 1K away.
