Torque output- Homefried ABY

[Tonybolony]

I understand that circa 280bhp is about the norm for a Homefried ABY in good order, but what about the torque? Would an RS2 intercooler make much difference?
Just curious......

much no, but a big intercooler is always welcome

From what I've seen over the years and my own car, torque is 310-330 ftlbs, power 280-295bhp depending on the car and dyno. I had 297bhp/330ftlbs on one dyno day with mine.

RS2 IC makes very little difference on that chipset but a chipset without the temperature compensation map would see improved torque in colder air.

Better off getting a decent exhaust on there and making sure that there are absolutely no boost leaks.

Cheers,
I'm not looking to upgrade her, 'cos 280horses is enough to get me into lots of trouble!!
As I said- just curious.

i had changed et exhaust in many cars; it will be better than the org, and torque and hp will improve in any car....you will be surprised, for shure..
