Charge Cooler or Front Mount Intercooler?
Hello
Thinking of changing my Intercooler, its a WRX with a few mods currently has a STi intercooler I was either thinking of a Pace Charge Cooler or a Front Mount Intercooler advise on these would be good
Thanks
Stu

1. Charge cooler is only necessary in a much warmer climate than ours...
2. FMIC isn't really necessary till going beyond 400 bhp.
3. If you want one 'cause it's bling, then fine.

ok cool, just trying to get the inlet temp as cold as possible as more cold air = More power

But a FMIC will be laggier than a top mount...
Charge cooler depends on a delta T to work efficiently, so really only needed in a MUCH hotter climate, TSL (?) sold a system mostly to owners in the Med. IIRC.
It's not the easiest way to increase power IMHO, methanol is better....
