fyi;
mouse over the pics or right click/properties.see pic labeled #2.
if you cut off 1/2" or so on the first pipe coming out of the turbo,the pipe would come out away from the radiator a little,and set more level if desired/needed.
i may do this just for looks.it's about the only section that looks off.
first impressions;
(20 min winter drive.winter blend fuel.current temps fairly warmer today that it has been.around 37F at time of drive.running empty on steep hills.which is 8k lbs.)
as to be expected turbo boost time is slower...aka turbo lag.it's nothing drastic,but she's not as snappy as she was before trying to fill them pipes and cooler of course.
mainly where you feel the extra lag time is pretty much just when you goose 'er.normal driving only very slightly altered.but turbo lag is most definitely present compared to no cooler at all.so be wary to those who claim to run massive cooler with even larger piping and say turbo spool up time didn't increase.
personally i like this,but no way would i go any larger (for a idi turbo kit.8-10 psi ranged turbo.)
also as you can imagine,turbo pressure drop is present now filling pipe and cooler.
i was peaking 9.5 psi prior to intercooler install.im now peaking 8 psi (brief peak) then falling back to 7-7.5ish range fairly quick.but you don't feel power loss when boost falls off.it's slick.
performance feels pretty much the same even though she's down 1.5psi.so that's a dang nice sign that i might see some economy increase.i so hope.
keeping in mind it's the dead of winter and winter blend fuel is lower on energy.
i'll have to check my timing now.the cooler more dense air,feels as if it retarded the timing too much.this could account for some extra lag too.
