After Market Intercooler

[sprinter]

looking to replace factory intercooler with something new, any thoughts as to what I should be looking at, this is for a pretty well stock BA. was thinking bout a https://www.plazmaman.com/shop/index.php?action=item&itemId=349plazmaman kit

[discostig]

Plazmaman, Nizpro, Process West, HDI seem to be the brands with good results!

bigger,better,no metal cutting..and it fits as well

[bossmang]

why are you upgrading the cooler? are you doing any other mods after this?

[sprinter]

later down the track I will be this is just one of the first things im going to do

Do some research, figure out how much power you want roughly, then size an intercooler.

Worst thing you can do is spend 900 on something that will take you to certain power when u want more. No good to just buy something and chuck it in (I mean the plazmaman is a good cooler but still will only get you so far)

Dont forget...if you push decent boost through it to make bigger power...your ba will more likely than not need valve springs too + injectore + tune...how far you gonna go?

well for now was only thinking over time getting the intercooler, injectores exhaust and tune and that's all I really want to do where power is concerned

Injectors/valve springs/ good cooler/ cat/ tune, and you'll have a very quick car.

I get what you mean in your last post but it really is important that you do save up and its a hell of alot cheaper to do it all at once too if you can be patient enough.

Its funny Ive been thru 3 intercoolers, 2 different kinds of injectors, 2 different exhaust styles blah blah as you can see there is a trail of wasted money and tunes just from being impatient.

The extra coin I spent on getting the tunes and parts that now sit in the garage would have me a built bottom end right now.

The power bug keeps on biting most ppl Im def. a sucker for it.

s Set your power goal and save to get the best and most efficient hardware to achieve it.

Doing it piece meal will cost you a bomb in retunes. Do it once and do it right
