Today i'm buying a stock intercooler because mine is bent.Installing tomorrow.

 

Taking a stock ic off and putting on another stock ic.

 

Yip.I've got a stock turbo,so aftermarket ic won't help me much...too much lag.

 

Posted it on Craigslist

 

^---- booooo. You lose the thread.

 

I've got a stock turbo with aftermarket ic, bought it from STM used but in new condition wanted a thicker one, but figured it would be better than my stock is with no straight fins on it. Absolutely no difference in lag and more consistent when logging pulls.

 

Checked oil and let her idle in the garage for 10 minutes. Yay winter/snow/salt

 

Installed shifter base bushings, cable bushings and a weighted shift knob.

 

i made sure my fridge was stocked with beer for when i pull my transmission tommorow... i think that counts

 

Counts......can't start any project without a cold case......

 

alignment, detail and mounted wheels

 

Interesting...nowadays i honestly don't know who to believe and listen to.Each person has his own opinion.But if you tested it i'm sure it's true.

In my opinion i think you can't have too big an intercooler because the air will take longer to cool before it goes to the intake.That's what my brain tells me anyways.

 

washed her and put the VG back on

 

Ordered a mini battery replacement so I can actually start and drive the car when it's quasi-warm out.

 

I assume u meant to say that u think u "can" have too big of intercooler. I understand your thinking, but the difference in volume of the intercooler is not enough to make a difference in the feel. I mean I wouldn't buy a 5 inch ic for a stock turbo, but if u ever plan on going bigger I'd go at lease a 3.5-4 inch. I asked my tuner what he thought and his text was "the bigger the better" lol. If u can find a dirt cheap stock one by all means just do that, but if u can find a good deal on a quality used one, theres no point in wasting time with stock unless u plan on selling IMO.
