Default INTERCOOLER

Okay, I am getting my intercooler (frontmount) on the first...I need to know if they're pretty much the same all around, what size I should get, pipe size and all that stuff....thanks guys!

BTW...my car is pretty much stock right now...any mods I should look into before hand?

I read a while ago, that you might want to get a bigger turbo first, because putting a front mount on your stock turbo is not going to do much. But if you consider getting a bigger turbo, there are mods also needed to install the bigger turbo. First get the turbo and then the front mount.

If you want a good intercooler then a say the supra SMIC is awesome. After reading up on it and how well it works i say its much better value for money.

find the intercooler with the efficiency as close to 100% as you can get.

The stock turbo will make your car feel a little less powerfull with a big FMIC on the car

because the T25 is a dinky turbo its a POS and cant flow very well at all. with a 16G or a 14b even you would be better off

Alright, let me get this straight one more time. I know we have talked about it a couple times, actually a thousand times. But, to put on a bigger turbo, lets say the 16G. i would need to buy fuel pump (atleast a Walbro 190 LPH), replace the fuel filter, 3" catback (atleast), maybe intake, and then the turbo. Is this right?

Aight cool...I can get all the upgrades with my FMIC...like the man said...do I need to upgrade my fuel pump as well? For that matter, what about injectors???
how do I find out what I have and what I need to get?

Sorry for the newb questions...I'm kinda just getting started, thanks!
