Any good tho, I take it you use the stock ic fan? How does it compare to the Berk?

I'd be interested to find this out as well

Is there really any advantage using greddy or berk intercoolers aposed to something like a cheaper toyo sports one ?

[alanmr2turbo]

i guess its all down to how much power your after. Im only going for around 300bhp any more than that and i would be thinking of ditching the Toyo Sport one

Just a cheap and cheerful Greddy copy. I had one on mine for years with no problem.

I used a shroud and Spal fan from gtschris (As they're not included with the kit)

Some of the kits feature rubbish jubilee clips that should be replaced with Mikalor clamps.

Anything's better than the stock intercooler

[Ethan21]

Could you use the standard fan ?

Luke's making pipes for me hopefully and yh i know the hoses and clips u get are a bit pants

Yeah, standard fan can be used.

[T.F.S.]

IMO they are very good value for money.

Agreed

Thanks for the replies ill stop highjacking this thread now

Mikalor clamps are too wide for most automotive applications. A high quality all stainless marine-spec clamp is the best solution. We keep Zero clamps which cost around £1.450 each.

As Craig says, the Chinese clamps are pants.

Here is how my intercooler from toyosport setup the hoses are the wrong size had to modify them and the angles from where it joins the throttle body cut into it and close the gap and tig welded it so I gave myself the best chance of fitting the kit.

I also used 2 of the 3 stock boost hoses.



a tight Fit but for 96quid i think i paid much improved over the stock system.

Only thing i did notice when installed because the diameter of the piping is bigger it takes longer to pressurize the system as there is more area to fill and tiny bit of lag can't say I had a problem with the clamps they are top notch.

Disconnect the BOV. That will sort out the lag between shifts. If you can actually notice the lag before boost, dumping the entire volume of air from turbo to throttle body through the BOV each shift or lift isn't going to help.

Here's the same intercooler with one of our first pipe correction kits.

Makes it a perfect fit, and also allows movement within the pipework. This reduces the common fault of snapping brackets.

I don't have a BOV can't run one with the AFM in place.... im not complaining about the lag its just as i stated larger area to fill takes more time to flow.

[gavinda]

Larger diameter pipe does not increase lag as you describe that logic is wrong
