How can you test an intercooler properly though
You can test inlet vs outlet temps but what about pressure loss or airflow restrictions / flow rate

Easy... get someone to map it.... If it makes good figures then its a good IC, if not and it gets held back that its not.
xjay1337:
Too many variables tto dictate whether thats any good.
I did very good power with my stock old intercooler and stock pipework on my old 1.9 tdi...
Needs to be a scientific test...lab set up tbh. Or something like mighty car mods. Set airflow and distance and heat.

Well we know the mods and what it should make. If it flows well at stage 2+ And keeps temps in check then that will be enough info for me and 90% of TFSI owners.
xjay1337:
I disagree.
The whole point of doing "tests" is that you can assess and then provide information based on evidence rather than gesticulation and guesswork. My friends car with stock intercooler and a slipping clutch made 335bhp at rtech as stage 2 cupra r
If someone else does 331 with same car and spec but with an s3 intercooler or a peron or a ths or whatever then thats to say a stock cooler is better?
Only way to test is to do it properly.
