Get mellon tuned then!

I have ran 25 psi on 91 octane with stock ic and the car never had issues. 21 is barely a boost over stock.

 

thanks for the vote of confidence in Mellon Tuning

 

 

I can smell a possible mellon tune

 

Mellon does decent tunes what what I have heard. good luck

 

Sounds like Mellon or english racing!

Both FTW!

 

O there is no comparison between the two! English Racing is by far better than Mellon; no offense Mellon. I'm just hands down English Racing. I have had more problems with my car than I can explain and they have always been there and are extremely friendly. When I move out to the East Coast I'll even ship my car to English!

 

thanks for the votes of confidence guys and I do better than decent tunes BLKCarbonEVO, probably should read up on it (see sig)

 

Not unless there is data to prove you are seeing a benefit....Just because an IC is bigger does not mean it is better nor does it mean it is optimal for your turbo.

I bought the 3.5" because I planned on going to a larger turbo. If you plan on sticking with a stock turbo and running conservative boost levels, I would save the $ and just stick with the factory IC (it works very well for its design and purpose).

 

The 3" is good for up to 500HP. I don't see why you'd need more than that.

 

3.5 + Mellon Tune

 

 

I have the ets 3.5 and love it. No heat soak and a great quality piece.

 

Get the 3.5". The headroom is nice to have, as you never know what the future will bring and you won't notice the difference in pressure drop. Peace of mind is worth it.

 

In Bahrain, you'll benefit from all the intercooling you can get, all things considered.

The 3.5" is a nice compromise. ETS will also build you an intercooler with the Garrett 3.8" high performance core for the same price as their 4". That is a very nice core (same as used in the Buschur Race intercooler, but $100 less) and still fits behind a crash beam if you want to retain that part.
