really cant see the size of intercooler causing a problem in the ways of lag it all depends on what your idea of big lag is i guess

Depends though doesn\'t it on the volume of the pipework and intercooler. As in there is a lot more in a big front mount and piping compared to the stock top mount and couplings. With out changing the turbo\'s output it will take longer to build the same amount of pressure in a larger volume. Shame I can\'t afford a hybrid like the one speedline had for sale at the moment.

Quote from: chrisrx7;636665you can never be too big with a intercooler lol

did jamie not have this off you mate??

he said he\'d get back to me by friday just gone but he not.
the hat just taking the pipes so i will still have teh core if he wants. will pm him.

Quote from: TiddlesRX7;636682Yeah mine is a similar size to that. Stock tub + big intercooler = Biiiiiiig Lag! Maybe i\'ll sell it and hold out for mitch\'s top mount!

or u can make ur own v-mount. shorter pipes, less lag

it does make me wonder at the size of intercooler people are putting on their cars,is there a reason for such big ones on road cars is it cause your more in traffic etc than what you would be on track?

well my view on it is that if you\'re going to spend all that money going front mount in the first place you might aswell get something big. There is an element of style involved, and its good for cooling.

Or you can get an uprated top mount and have no lag whatsoever lol boosts to 0.5bar within 1/2 a second

I feel lag with my stock intercooler when i change gear. Takes a second or so to get back up to boost. In all fairness its running nearly twice as much boost as yours though
