my turbo f22a build

Did you really buy brand new OEM pistons? How much? And if it was anywhere near 400, you could have gotten some forged pistons for a few dollars more.

Sounds like you're on the right track though. There's nothing wrong with a big intercooler, the biggest(and really the only) downside is pressure drop. But you can compensate for that by upping the boost. At least your intake charge will be cool.

Better to lose some power due to a big intercooler than to lose an engine due to insufficient cooling!

make sure you get your clearances correct...remember smaller turbo = more heat so you will have to compensate for that.

pics

here yall go, pics of the car. i pulled it into the shop today, and put the intercooler on it. i had to cut out more than i wanted to. but it turned out pretty good i think. i have some cleaning up to do, but u get the idea.

[coupe]

bump, for pics. everyone asked for them, so i finally get them and no response. dang i said it needed cleaning up but i didnt think it looked that bad. lol but lmk what yall think. thanks

[wed3k]

phone pictures dont really say anything. thats a big ass intercooler though

[coupe]

lol yeah i know i got a great deal on it though. it is like a 900 dollar intercooler and i couldnt pass it up for 150 bux. lol

[drummersteve7]

these pics dont show anythiing.
all i see is an intercooler...could be an interfooler for all we know!

come on man...hook it up!

[coupe]

lol, my bad. i am working on it. i am waiting on my cam and head gasket from bisi. then i will be reay to hook it up. lol but u are right. right this minute it is a interfooler. but it will soon be working.
