Cooler And Piping Advice

[SIKXE8]

Hey guys, I need to replace the intercooler bracket, and im thinking I may aswell upgrade... now I dont plan on doing much work to my T, only tune and injectors at most, now should I upgrade cooler or will it not need it, ive already got a bend and pod running of the turbo and thinking if I do another induction mod it will be illegal

the stock x-over is pretty anoying considering half of it is not being used, would it be alright to remove it and get custom piping made up to fit my stock cooler?

thanks

There are a few site sponsors that have nice kits. It's personal preference what one you go with. I would be doing the cooler if I was you. With the mods that you said you were going to do you should see some nice results and a cooler will help on those hot days.

Get rid of the stock cross over and go with a full cooler kit. There wouldn't be much point in doing just the piping and keeping the stock cooler.

ah yeah, whats the advantage in upgrading a cooler? what power is the stock cooler restricted to?

I know its kinda pointless just doign the piping but I wana get rid of the x-over.

upgraded cooler = better flow = turbo doesn't have to work as hard = cooler intake temps = more power

is any upgrade to the stock cooler illegal and defectable?

I've never got done for it - but mine is black

would take a *beep* of a cop in a bad mood to even think of doind you for and intercooler if you still have the front bar on.

that's interesting, but understandable that an aftermarket cooler may be illegal. Although I would not think that an F6 cooler would be. So what benefit would an F6 cooler give. What percentage is it larger and what does this equate to in RWKW, Cheers

technically, a tune is illegal.

A decent cooler is probably the best thing you can do for your turbo followed closely by a decent exhaust system

What makes a tune illegal?

[ratter]

Unless you have it emission tested, it is considered illegal as it has changed from manufactured.
