DannoSupra Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hello people. Owned my sup for nearly 4 month now. Fitted a Custom 3" exhaust straight through from the first cat back, btw it's a UK Spec Auto, and an AVC-R Controller. In order to reach the boost desired, do i need to upgrade my stock intake and intercooler? I've had a look at the intercooler and it's starting to deteriorate. What sort of Direct Replacement intercoolers are available, or is it best to go for a front mounted? And i'm aware i need a Fuel Cut Defencer Many Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Chris Wilson does a very highly rated SMIC replacement. It's not cheap but quality costs. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i'm aware i need a Fuel Cut Defencer Many Thanks Dan Hi Dan, I have a special offer on Intercoolers at the moment, see [thread=57778]HERE[/thread], which includes the GReddy side mounted intercooler. If you are intending staying with the stock turbos then I would advise, either the GReddy side mounted IC, HKS S-Type or GReddy 2 row front mounted IC, all these are rated up to around 450hp. In terms of intake, the stock airbox is the best option, as it offers the best filtration, has 2 cold air feeds and is more than capable of flowing enough air.

DannoSupra Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Exept for the price what sort of differece is there between the Greddy Side Mounted and the 2-Row Front Mounted? The side mounted, does that Replace the stock? or do i need to modify? Is it advisable sticking to standard filteration or replace with performance direct replacement Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side mounted, does that Replace the stock? or do i need to modify? Is it advisable sticking to standard filteration or replace with performance direct replacement Many Thanks The side mount replaces the stock IC and also replaces all stock rubber IC hoses with metal hard pipes (as does the 2 row front mounted IC). The side mounted IC is probably the better option, unless you are running big hp, as it offers similar cooling to the 2 row front mounted IC, but without blocking the airflow to the radiator (although this is not a big problem I find). The SMIC also can be fitted without removing the auto spoiler. If you need to change the filter, you could fit a good quality panel filter inside the stock airbox, I can supply the TRD and TOMS panel filters if needed.
