running a series of intercoolers?
 

i was wondering if anyone use multiple intercoolers..

i have 2 dsm side mounts in my garage and was wondering...would it be effective to run 2 of them..as to run 1?

Re: running a series of intercoolers?
 

I saw a car once with 2 4" thick sidemounts 1 in each fender well. Thicker cores are best, so I reckon the 2 stealth 4" sidemounts cooled as good if not better than a 2.5" or 3" thick frontmount.

longer cores are better than thicker aren't they?

its all about surface area

sounds like more work than its worth.

the intake charge would also have to split up and collect twice going through two intercoolers.

Newer Audis run 2 intercoolers. Its not really necessary unless you have serious space constraints. You could find someone who can tig and find another dsm intercooler, weld all three together for a very effecient front mount. Ask JD about this. :6

If you mount the 2 in a serial manner, there will be a lot of flow restriction and the air will move at full speed in both intercooler.
Since you already have them, you can split the turbo outlet in 2 pipes feeding both intercoolers separately, so they will flow half and every bit of air will be half disturbed, then if you build your manifold you can merge them after. Two well angled sharp Y will provide less turbulances.

just run them inline if your doing two sideomounts, less hassle less work.

or just stop being cheap and get a front mount.
