Title: Stage 3 intercooler
Post by: Scotty600 on May 03, 2015, 11:10:05 am

I am stage 3 tuned and run a airtec twin cooler alongside my standard cooler.
Is there a better upgrade available???

replace your standard intercooler and run alongside the front mount. im running this setup on stage 2+ and works fine for me. it will give you all cooling you need.

nope same size pipes. straight swap. altho not sure if using a different brand intercooler as im running both airtec. might be different if you use a peron or apr cooler.

Buy a peron cooler there the best out there and have been proven on many cars ask AKS tuning or R tech.
