tsi intercooler ???'s
 

ok, i was wondering if it would help or hurt to run an intercooler between a cold air intake and the intake manifold, i just have the intercooler laying around and was wondering

Re:tsi intercooler ???'s
 

prolly wont be anything more than a restriction in the intake tract because the compressor wheel is gonna heat up that charge air as it goes thru the compressor housing, wouldnt hurt to try i suppose but i bet it wont benefit much...thats what the intercooler is for. all the truck drivers around here call them aftercoolers, not intercoolers lol

Re:tsi intercooler ???'s
 

i think hes talking about on a N/A car, where it wont help and might hurt since its a restriction

Re:tsi intercooler ???'s
 

well i was just experimentin earlier, and it seemed to rev quicker n juz acted like it had more power, maybe have juz been me tho

Re:tsi intercooler ???'s
 

oh gotcha
i assumed he had a turbo on there. i couldnt see an intercooler helping at all on a NA car its a bigass restriction in the intake tract that way

Re:tsi intercooler ???'s
 

its just you if youre talking about on a non-turbo car. think about it, the air cooling the intercooler is the same temp as the air inside of it, so no benefit
