I was just curious to what size intercoolers people are using and fitting into BA astinas. I've kinda got my eyes on a 300(H)x400(W)x73(C) intercooler with 2.5in inlet and outlet. But looking at the front bar I don't think I have 7.3cm to play with.
Also, the turbo is stock GTX. I have been told that a bigger (wider) intercooler is required but i honestly don't see the point in it as the turbo is so small. (Only usable boost up to 11psi.) I feel that if it's any bigger, it'll have too much lag. As the piping as already been increased also, this will already be adding to the lag.
The same company makes 300(H)x500(W)x73(C) and 300(H)x600(W)x73(C) sizes.
Ideas from guys who have already done this?
Is 7.3cm too deep to start with anyways?
If a VF10 is to be fitted, should I go bigger just in case?
