Thread: 115mm intercooler

I think in the D1 section there is a post on fitting one , needed some work to get it in.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using AULRO mobile app

Did some measuring last night looks like a pain in the arse. But still cheaper then the 400 the radiator bloke wants for a new standard one

Had an interesting chat to one of the blokes at TRS in SA the other day, he reckons the standard IC has a pressure drop upwards of 3psi ?

Never measured it myself, should stick some gauges on and check, but if so that's pretty ordinary so a thicker core should help.

That is interesting... I tapped a connector into the inlet manifold on my Tdi some time ago and have measured both turbo and manifold pressures and I've never really noticed any major difference in psi between them, I've since found that the ic was leaking as well which would show a bigger pressure drop at the manifold??
In comparison the new full width Allisport ic I've now fitted is showing around a 3-4psi difference from turbo to manifold..

Where you been hiding rick? I'm just going to put a stock one back in. Not Interested in cutting up the fame ect to fit a chinga cooler in

Been a hell of a year Matt.
Tell you about it later.....

Sounds like it some of the boys have been wondering . Any how you know where to find us mate

re the allisport ic, did it make much difference to the engine? Have you got stock turbo and injector pump?
cheers ian
