want to get bigger turbo and intercooler but can only afford one at a time which one do i get first
turbo, stock intercooler when straped and flaped is very good at its job
dont no much about turbos so what sort do i need ,as far as i no the engine is pritty much standard
depends what you want from the car bud really, ive got a full t25 fitted to a machined out t2 rear housing to keep the spool ups low, was ment for a track setup, adam l on here is a good bloke to speak to with regards to getting a turbo. im sure other people will come on here and let you know of there specs
thanks mate where do i get and how much ,went to santa pod last week all the r5's were fast as ****
just got a T28 fitted to mine, coupled with the piper cam and 20psi...the car feels like a ballastic missile compared to how it felt with the T2/T25 turbo it had on it.
not sure its much cop as a track setup mind you.
aii, had the rollerbearing t28 on for the sqm ;-) stock cam in tho, good for a 13.7 on a dodgy gearbox
where is the best place to get t 25t or t 28 got to get one
more to the point intercooler first up the boost a little say 14psi and i bet that would be nice rather than having a bigger turbo and run hot air, even a pace intercooler is good its still not as good as a forge or other fmic,
intercooler first i would say.
if you get the turbo first it will put more pressure and heat on the stock i/c
First off, don't go near Pace or Forge for intercoolers, they're dog ****. Secondly, a larger turbo is going to blow cooler air because it's not as compressed.
Yep what he said, and as I said the stock cooler with a few mods is very good at it's jobOriginally Posted by Adam L
it all boils down to what you want from the car. in a magority of cases its just a couple of extra psi and some spot on fueling setup and save yourself some pennies in the mean time.
it was just an example,still think id fit a intercooler before a turbo if i had to do one before the other like tooks asked
ive flowed my intercooler, and that means ive removed the flap and all crap so its free flowing, and i disnt see an improvement, only at night realy, but then i have no directing air or holes in the bumper
you may not physically feel the difference but how many people actually measure there charge temps. not many i know
good point.. been thinking of it but never put much thought into what to use

I do!
i know that poppet thats why i said very few, and to be fair it also shows with the good times you manage to produce rather than just taking advice from my mate dave whos mate dave said so.I do!
I do!
me to
at 20psi on the T25 on a mild sunny day i was pulling 40 degrees C on the dual capacity intercooler.
dropped to 20 degrees C on a similar temp day with a large front mount
i believe i have THS_03 front mount or something like that.
i get carb freeze on days when it reads 8 degrees on the air temp guage.
if i had of kept the stock intercooler i wouldnt get carb freeze in the winter but i would of been getting 50 - 60 degrees C charge temps @ 20psi on a mild sunny day.
thanks for all your advice on the question i asked about turbo and intercooler
and the answer was what do you want from your car as you could be buying parts that arnt required?thanks for all your advice on the question i asked about turbo and intercooler
not sure mate, dont no a great deal on turbo cars just want the best i can get out of the car, as far as i no its standard
My mate Dave is a bit of a legend.
