    I think your intercooler is pretty worthless!

    The design of the IC is not on the most efficient side either. The most cooling happens in the first 20cm of the IC, so as thicker and higher is the IC , the more the air is cooled.

    This is a very efficient design.

    i'm gonna use this one
    have read good things about it, a lot of tests with the datalogger and several temp sensors
    only thing is, that this cooler is from the VAG group

    you should read this for test, there are other test, better test which i've read but couldn't find now!
    It's been tested too flow around 700bhp
    have one myself standing here and fitment maybe a problem
    your a/c have to go out anyhow!
    price around 300 euro maybe less

    Hi Jan, it looks very nice, and its an interesting read, but the 'data' that they show does not show the temp on the turbo side of the inter-cooler - therefore we can say nothing about the efficiency of the cooler from these figures. So we know what the inlet temp is, but we don't know what the air temp out of the turbo was. They don't even show the level of boost that is being generated. So its possible that this intercooler is much better that the one I am using, or not - you simply can't say from the figures.

    But it is great that you have one! I will look forwards to you getting it installed, and if you can produce anything like a 30 degrees C air inlet temp, running high revs and high boost, then I will be getting one too!

    Even the reasonably small FMIC cooler that I am using involves mounting problems. Mine needed quite a bit of work with the angle grinder and welder to make it 'fit' !

    jim.
