French Boost Project

AA man fixed it for me so it's all good. Always worth having breakdown cover when driving French cars.
Glad it wasn't something major pal.
No guts, no glory.
Really? It's bigger than the moon!

Too many
It's twice the size of the one i'm running on a 300hp 5 pot turbo and mine will still be fine when I eventually hit 400hp - it's entirely unnecesary and will add lag on something with a small turbo.
Well there quite clearly is..lol! Big doesn't mean best.
Knows it. It was a lot more punchy with the small cooler and that's what I'm going back to.

Can't fault you, keep hold of the bigger one for when you hit the bigger numbers - sounds like a great plan to me!
"The fact is bigger will be better as
long as it can be sited correctly
within the airstream and it doesn’t
significantly affect the engine’s
cooling by blocking the air stream
to other heat exchangers such as
coolant radiators and oil coolers."

You blow up a carrier bag and then blow up a bin liner. Which is going to fill quickest?
He has a baby turbo, bigger intercooler and longer pipe work. It's struggling to fill it quick enough so he is losing pressure and the peak is much higher in the rev range.
He is also only running 8 psi from his baby turbo so not going to be ridiculous intake temps.

You could always put your little finger in one and you tiggler in the other?
Don't shoot the messenger.
Don't try and educate the teacher.

Ooo-er.
What diameter is the boost piping btw, you'd gain more from going to 3 to 2" piperwork than changing the cooler. remember the volume of the cool is only in the end tanks and a small amount of the bar and plate design.
e.g swapping from a 20" square intercooler with 2" end tanks and 3" thick compared with a 8" height intercooler with otherwise same dimensions same you 250 cu. in.
changing from a 3 to 2" boost pipe setup with a decent amount of pipe would save you 400 cu. in.
