[Mk2] [Turbo] Intercooler Core Size

Post by dave_f »

Hi guys, im looking to get some information on different intercooler core sizes.

So far i only have the standard, greddy and xspower intercooler core sizes.

Just wondering whether anybody had some different ones, such as HKS, Pheonix Power etc.

Thanks in advance

I doubt there is much in it due to the lack of space in the bay, which is why they all look very similar.

yep, and the route the pipes have to take, if you want a bigger one you'd have to go for a top mount or a boot mount, i think top mount would less affective than a side mount due to the amount of heat from the engine/turbo etc, boot mount is the way forward, or get a charge cooler.

the pheonix power ones quite a bit thicker than the xs power, greddy ones (which are the same i think) and has the pipes join on differently. dont know the sizes though.
