Tyrus intercooler efficency
 
how much horse power is the smaller tyrus intercooler good for until it becomes inefficient?

The 5 inch tyrus intercooler is good to about 275 hp. If you plan on more horsepower than that get the 6 inch tyrus intercooler. I emailed tyrus and that's what he told me when he replied. I think the 6 inchers go for $210. You don't get much of a better deal than that.

you wouldnt reall notice the difference until you changed the intercooler. you can certainly hit 300 horses, but youll have the boost turned way up. the side effect could be killing your turbo because your intercooler is choking your flow system... just man up and spend more.

You can make 300whp on the 5inch IC.. I plan on making well over 400 on the 6incher

the 6 inch only has one more tube so i figure it cant make that much of a difference......right?

The 5 inch intercooler will be fine.
