intercooler help

Post by Duff »

i need to buy an intercooler for my safari system for a patrol. im looking at the cheap front mount ones on ebay, for around $140. what my problem is, is in deciding how big the inlet and outlet size is. the outlet from the turbo is 2" and the intake manifold is 2.5". do i get a intercooler with 2" piping or 2.5".

what im thinking is buying the intercooler with 2" piping and then at one end buy a silicon hose that increases the size of the outlet at the intercooler to 2.5". what do you guys recon as i no next to nothing about turbos and intercoolers

this is the intercooler i was thinking about

stick with the 2.5inch as you wont have to fork out for the pricey flanged silicon joiners not only that it shood flow better aswell :armsup:

2.5 will cause lag, go 2 inch into the intercooler and 2.5 outlet.















nah 2.5 will be fine.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown
