Building a Sleeper

[matt5112]

apparently buying vendor intercoolers is a bad idea.

you can source out one via ebay for less.

A/A that is.

Unless you want to twin charge, get an A/A intercooler.

cheaper, more reliable than a A/W.

I think the op is misunderstanding. The full stack IC is if you stay SC, if you go turbo you do an A/A. Although now that I think of it a SC IC would work too in theory....

If your twincharging you can still use an S/C IC...because your still supercharged.

Do you guys not read the previous posts? I'm not a retard, and from what I read from Red Devil he says go with a Z3 turbo kit and a tranny swap. Theres no mention of an intercooler anywhere. I'm just trying to get information, isn't that what a message board is for? Like I said my budget is around $4000 and with an intercooler that brings it closer to $5000.

then you need to raise your budget. if i was going turbo on a sc car i wouldnt go A/W. it might be an optional part but it is needed. compressed air gets got. you want cool dense air. not hot air. you could even find a used one from a completely different car or setup and make it work on yours.

i say just put the turbo kit on it and run your trans till it blows then buy a tep when u got the money for it

Use the search function. And debadge your car for the sleeper effect. also if you do go intercooler, paint it black.

go both, put the stage 2 A/W under the blower and make the A/A for the turbo... WIN
