I picked up a do88 charge pipe yesterday :-) But neither the downpipe or charge pipe is mounted yet. I'll do one more trackday with just the upgraded cooling and then I've scheduled to get the two pipes mounted plus a stage 2 bootmod3 tune. Since I do a lot of trackdays I've refrained from tuning the car without sorting the cooling first. Looking forward to see how the car is with the stage 2 tune in a week or so :-)

What was wrong with original design? It's currently out of stock till the 30th. Is there an updated version? I don't see it on the site. |

Holy-moly - upgraded IC is doing its job v well esp compared to stock IC on the same circuit/similar ambient.

Pure hi Flo inlet pipe definitely helps offset any lagginess from large IC. I was dubious about GFB DV+ initially and at <75% throttle and under say 4500rpm it's negligible. At WOT and in top third of rev range - response is better than stock (diaphragm may flutter) at higher boost and higher rpms which might prompt DME to react.

But seeing where the charge pipe is located, it looked like way more job to change. Any good hints, do's and don'ts?? I have the kit with the main hard tube and only one soft tube, not the kit with two soft tubes. |

I was impressed by the lower temperatures the do88 intercooler delivered, especially over many laps. But the oil/water temps were oddly high. Turns out the coolant system hadn't been bled for air.
After bleeding the coolant system the oil/water temps improved. This is a log from yesterday during a timeattack competition. All previous runs have been 100% stock apart from the coolers and IC. On this log though: - An Akrapovic catted downpipe has been added - Stage 2 map BM3!! - Ambient is up slightly Pushing really hard, oil now peaks at 125. Perfect. |

You will need to drop out the intercooler so that you can get the oem cp out. It's fairly straight forward -just a bit fiddly at times. Take off the metal plate under the engine to give you more options to get your hands in. |

I know have the charge pipe mounted and run a very nice stage 2 tune for 98 octane from a Swedish tuner (Stertman). And linear pedal maps. Happy!! |

"What to look for before buying an intercooler".
At the top of the list should be to purchase from a manufacturing company that has telephone support. Sometimes you need to talk to a live person and you can resolve an issue in minutes as opposed to days. Also, when you have the manufacturer on the phone, ask them for a list of online approved vendors. Where you purchase can affect your warranty. This applies to intercoolers and any other part you purchase. |

If you have aftermarket piping sometimes you can loosen the rubber couplings, plug the intercooler pipes in, then tighten the rubber collars back up. |
