Intercooler

[Cupman29]

Need an intercooler for my turbo set up and looking to get to around 280bhp.

What size of inlets would be suited to this power level? Would 2" be enough or would this be too restrictive?

The intercooler I'm looking at is from an focus st.

2" would be fine mate. Any bigger and you will have trouble routing the pipe work. Get one of the coolers on eBay that fits the space you have. I will send you pic of the one I fitted to my rs.

The ones on eBay are what ktec sell, buy off eBay or try and find a universal forge one, I fell lucky and found a second hand golf fitment forge unit on eBay and got it for £80! just had to remove 2 brackets.
