hey guys, i was wondering to about what power level i can safely run with my current intercooler. i currently have a 18"x12"x3" intercooler and i was just curious as to how much horsepower/boost i could get out of it safely. Could i run more boost on the same intercooler if i ran water-methanol injection?

hey guys,
i think i am going to stick with my current intercooler. i dont want boost much over 250 hp after reading the whole thread by pressure 2 about boosted 5sfte's just for the sake of longevity/reliability. my next question is would i be better off using a close to stock turbocharger(a KKK K26 off an Audi 5000 that I rebuilt) or a Turbonetics T3/T4 hybrid .63 ar? |
