Ross Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I have just been offered an intercooler off a legacy (water to air). have any of you intercooled an ea81t, and if so, how much effect did it have on performance? I would normally just try it and see, but installing a water to air intercooler will probably mean sacrificing the air conditioning, and repositioning the spare wheel, so i don;t want to go ahead if it will make little difference with stock boost. comments?

NorthWet Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I do not know if anyone has done this with and EA81t, but ICs are often put on the EA82t. Some people have posted after-turbine temperatures from stock boost of 200-250 deg F (95-105 deg C ?). Dropping the temp down to near ambient is worth doing alot of work.

carfreak85 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 It has been done to an EA81T powered car. It was done by Boosted84wagon. Send him a PM and try to get him to tell you about it or have him post here. I'm interested in his results as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
