So I bought a turbo & want to start looking around for an intercooler.....I'm planning on going from a 2.5 HOT side ---> 3.0 COLD side......So where do you get your intercoolers from? What would be the best brand on a budget?

 

Me personally I would get an air to air front mount intercooler. maybe use 2.5 inch piping and I would look on ebay

 

Why air to air? & I read a article about how it's better to have the piping from the intercooler to the throttle body bigger than the exhaust to the intercooler because something about the velocity.....* I have to go read it again*

 

You can buy an intercooler off of here, or off of ebay. You don't have to spend a fortune on it. Air to air is simpler, less parts less plumbing. Overall just better unless you're basically drag racing.

 

I've got some 2.5" silicone couplers with t-bolt clamps if you need em

 

Keep it simple but you can do what you want and 2.5 inch intercooler piping is good enough for what most people do to these cars

 

Yeah I wouldn't mind off of here but I haven't seen anyone put ANY up at all for sale..... ; Yeah I read a good amount of articles on this so that's what I'm going for....Something nice & simple that I can have for a DD with about 12 lbs of boost

 

Haha i'll get the intercooler then get back to you on that

 

Sounds good.....up next is the piping & BOV

 

I have a black ssq bov if your interested in that
