Title: Anyone changed to peron IC ?
Post by: Madone on July 17, 2016, 02:18:31 pm: I currently have a airtec stage 1 cooler, essentially a upgraded S3 cooler. Has anyone moved from a after market cooler to a Peron and notice better temps ?, is it a worthy upgrade or realistscally not a difference that would be noticed from the airtec ?

Peron New type meant to be very good
Welly Cooler massive but needs more time to fit and mess about

all 3 are good just up to you and your budget ?

Has anyone seen any sort of comparison between coolers ?.

Hard to compare unless a tuner had run the same car with same mods and swapped out the cooler. I know Niki's misses Eddy has/had a Peron, not sure what cooler was on board beforehand.

Thanks mate, makes sense. The airtec cooler I have works a treat and tbh I can't see how anything bigger could even fit !

I think my IAT peaked at 68 degrees C yesterday after being stuck in slow moving traffic with the aircon on full blast, covered around 1 mile in 30 minutes. It soon drops again when on the move and absolutely plummets to sub-ambient when the meth kicks in

Post by: AJP on July 20, 2016, 06:11:54 pm: I think I'm right in saying the Stage 1 Airtec is better for a 2+ k03, whereas the Stage 2 Airtec and Peron are better for a 2+ k04 (or bigger) car.

As for charge temps over the last couple of days of 30deg+ ambient, it's really noticeable. Especially at Stage 2 with the oem cooler..! I've read conflicting reports about water meth, but it's definitely something I'm going to look into when I sort out cooling and a proper turbo.
