    IC - how big do I want? And then some more...

    So. In hp, how far will I get with the stock ABY IC? How far will I reach with the RS2 IC? It should be enough for 370-ish but is it? Or do I need a bigger one?

    I've noticed that there has been a lot of discussions about the size of IC's. So, at least in Sweden, there are alot of IC's from trucks and even from wheel loaders beeing used on street race cars. Now, usually, the core is quite corse on these IC's. The internal ducts are like twice the size of a standard S2 IC. Ok, sure it reduces drag - but won't it affect efficency? If the air moves faster through it it has less time to get cooled off? Or doesn't it work like that?

    What turbo are you talking about?????? If you have a K24, an RS2 IC or a 600x400x100mm IC won't help you much... now if you have the right size turbo... it's another story

      One of these:

      KX400

      KX500

      Sorry 'bout the Swedish site but you will get it I'm sure! Leaning towards the KX400 though... What do you think?
