Title: How Much Pressure Drop Should you get through an Intercooler?
Post by: antnicuk on May 25, 2007, 04:41:19 PM
What is an acceptable level of boost pressure drop between the turbo and plenum ?

There is no such thing as an acceptable loss, it should be made as small as possible within the given constraints.

How much are you getting Tony ?

so 3 - 4 psi is probably too much then?

Depends at how much boost you\'re losing 3-4 psi.

As Mike say\'s it very much depends on what boost you are running.
But 2 psi drop is fairly normal at at that sort of boost level.
Some people set up boost controllers and guages to read before the intercooler,but we prefer to set them up after,that way everything is setup for what the engine is actually receiving.
