intercooler

I went to talk to a mech today about more power.He ask about boost and egt's. I told him it would get hotter,but like to stay around 1200 or less. His thought would be to intercool and then sticks.

List of mods on bottom.

Would like your thoughts please!!!!

THNKS, MEXEMO

You already have the best tuning money can buy so yes injectors are in your future if you want more power. And in intercooler is in the future if you want to be able to use the power. At some point a bigger turbo will come in handy as well to supply all the air needed and to keep temps down.

WHichever way $$$$ allows. I suppose, the safer way would be to do intercooler, then sticks, but the fun wy would be sticks first!!!!

I did sticks first just because they were easier than the cooler and I didn't have tubes yet. If you do II's you will need a cooler before you tow heavy.
