04 mk5 tdi- cooler question

(1/4) > >>

ryder2012:
okay so an 04 mk5 2l tdi,

add a intercooler?, twintercooler?

is it worth looking into the following as well?

turbo discharge pipe upgrade
turbo throttle pipe upgrade
oil catch tank system?
turbo upgrade (if one exists for this)

just ordered a pipercross intake kit, a cone filter one, carbonfiber heat shielded pipe work ect, waiting for that to arrive but it'll be here soon enough. im building up a pile of parts to be fitted in one go as to cut down on number of remaps needed.

also going to add a milltech turbo back non resonated decat/sport cat exhaust system with new downpipes too.

(poor sodding garage is gunna love me haha)

Trekmeister:
You could get a hybrid and remap which is a good start, no need for an intercooler at that stage but a nice stainless exhaust with decat wouldnt go a miss.

ryder2012:
well im trying to avoid the need to upgrade the upgrades later down the line, hence the intercooler along side the other parts.

All the upgrades will go in together instead of one by one also to avoid the need to upgrading upgrades.

Trekmeister:
Why dont you bang in an S3 cooler then, more than enough for your needs, what BHP are you planning on taking the car to. The standard intercooler is very capable of handling a stage 1 or 2 diesel remap without too much of a problem.

ryder2012:
well regarding bhp ambitions....as high as mechanically possible.

This is kind of a test car for me, throw as much as needed into it and sod the cost, get the biggest gain possible.

other thing is the current cooler is pretty fugly, what ever cooler goes in hoping its nice stainless steel for that shine haha.

will look into s3 coolers, as long as its not second hand and shiney XD
