thats a cute intercooler and all... but whats w/ the end tanks and extra pipes?

are all the 2G intracooler kits like that?

i dont know if you knew this about aftermarket intercoolers, espeically big ones... but the ALL add lag, i dont care who you are or what your post count is.

i have a Yonaka intercooler on the DSM... and there is lag w/ the 14b. you can easily tell... you can watch the needle jump to 15 psi and once it moves past that 15 psi mark... the car really starts to move. we can run 18-20 psi on the street all the time now but when the turbo spools, the car spews a cloud of black exhaust before it takes off... i can explain why but that may bore some of you people...

lag is just an issue you will have to deal with. how much lag is up to you and your wallet

oh and a T25 w/ a big front mount, funky end tanks and and longer, large-diameter pipes is definitly over kill.... its only a stop-gap solution till you get a bigger turbo. anyone who seriously tries to campaign a T25 powered car w/ a big FMIC has some issues.
