Looking to replace my VNT-15 Turbo

[tonystdi]

Need some advice on the intercooler, I planing on staying with the VNT-15 Turbo, but was hoping to get some input on the intercooler, can anyone give me the +/- of a FMIC if I stay with the VNT-15 Turbo.

If you're not going up in turbo size, why would you need a bigger IC?

Only justification would be for towing. Still, I'd upgrade the turbo at the same time (or first), IMHO.

If you're sticking with a VNT-15 I don't think an intercooler upgrade is really necessary, especially if the car isn't tuned or has larger injectors. If you really want to upgrade I'd suggest sticking with a side mount and upgrading that. There are several out there: Eurojet, Forge, and Tyrolsport are a few.

When I do tune it, it will be for fuel economy.

Judson recently upgraded his intercooler to a Eurojet model. Might want to send him a PM.

Thanks for the input Ifixit, are you saying I need one of these?

That was my excuse too.

For how you drive it, I would save the money.
