    Thumbs down New Larger Intercooler TD5 D2

    Well i installed a larger intercooler on Sunday, today i did 100k drive to Hurstville, Taren Point, Sutherland and back too Helensburgh, to say i'm under whelmed is a bloody understatement at $900 and 4hrs of work pulling the old one out and putting the new one in, i'd say not bloody worth it at all.

    Know where near the 25% to 30% increase in power and torque they claim, I'm not very impressed about this at all, if it wasn't such a pain to pull it out and put the old one back in, I'd send the mongrel thing back

    Cheers Baz.

    Really?

    I found mine gave about as much as what the chip did. It was installed the day after it was chipped.

    Did yours have the chip modded again when it was installed

    I found mine didn't give me a noticeable power increase but it made the acceleration so much smoother and knocked the turbo lag back from a kick up the rear at heavy acceleration that the remap had given me. There did seem to also be more torque too.

    20-30%?? who claims that?? thats flow rate increase not power baz.
    an intercooler alone will never give that amount of increase.
    there was a noticable difference in acceleration in the 90 when standard, made it drive like it did when it was really cold outside.
    couldnt tell if there was an increase after the chip, but the chip is tuned for a TD5 with an intercooler.

    also, you did test it out when it was quite HOT....

    cheers phil

    No it was with the same chip, but that said the chip and intercooler were being done at the same time, and I drove it inbetween.

    If you want extra power from a diesel, go the gas injection option. Definately a noticable improvement AND the govt. pays for most of it!

    The other thing was no noticeable drop in EGTs either, maybe I'm expecting too much, but for $900 I thought at least a bit of a difference, maybe the 3" will help a bit.

    I had an upgraded intercooler fitted when I purchase my '99 300TDi a month ago... no noticable difference until I had it dyno-tuned. Pre dyno 50kW at the wheels, post dyno 70kW... love it!

    Baz...

    Check your boost levels... Your most likely down on boost now!

    You'll find a little tweak of the wastegate (do 1/2 turns ONLY) should bring you back up to speed...
