Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im looking for a FMIC for my GU TD42 running 19PSI. My biggest question is weather i should get one with 2.5" or 3" pipe inlets? Will a larger pipe (3") add more lag given that the turbo will be filling a larger volume of pipe before actually reaching the engine? The crossover pipe at the moment is about 2-2.5" so that is the way im leaning at the moment.

anyone else got any input?

I am also looking for a decent supplier as i have heard some stories about the cheapo Ebay jobbies

I have a PWR cooler, running 2.5" pipes and run anywhere between 23 - 30 psi no issue.

I have seen a few cheap ebay options and they also work well but a pwr was only $450 for a 550 wide cooler so wasnt a big difference in cost.

I was told they're wouldnt be much issue with lag, and my inlet temps are fine I doubt you would see a difference between the two.

thanks for the reply, i have shot off an email to PWR and will wait to see what comes back.

Pwr use cheap chinense cores on there radiators and coolers so ive been told.

That is incorrect if you go down to PWR you can watch them making the cores. But maybe that is just for a few different ones not there entire range.

ill let you know when i go down later in the week.

chinese intercoolers are awesome. if you go on ebay they are sold in heaps of different sizes so it's easy to get the one you need. i and heaps of other people i know have ran them for ages in cars with no problems

There is ARE in Brendale, but $$$. Eache cooler is custom made to suit the application (air flow, hp, boost etc)

yeh i have looked at his stuff and although i have no doubt there coolers are awesome and there R&D is thourough i cant justify the prices he is charging for any of his 4wd/patrol specific stuff. If i can spend ~$500 on a PWR off the shelf and have good efficiency thats good, to spend another grand on top for a few extra HP in our game (mine especially) does not add up.
