do you even need an aftermarket innercooler?

Larger intercoolers really aren't needed until you start upgrading turbos. Water injection isn't really a must either but it will help you run the stock turbos harder. Z1 motorsports has a complete kit that has gotten praise from many at the TwinTurbo.net boards.

Run the water/alcohol mixture and tell me what you think... If you still don't like it the I'll buy the system from you. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. |

for cooling purposes, i would get a performance radiator and electric fan first. also, invest in a JWT pop-charger and full exhaust to expell heat better. downpipes, testpipes, and cat-back will get that heat away from those turbos alot more efficiently then your stock set-up plus add a good deal of power. after all that, i would then start to consider a water injection kit.

Re: larger interccoler and water injection kit...
quick history lesson on the alchol and water mix. That was a WWII German Luftwaffa trick as a power adder to the Bf109s and Bf110s they ran early in the war a 50/50 mix then they leaned it out to a 60/40 mix of methenol and water. It was designated the MW50/50 or MW60/40 depending on the type.
Just some history on the power adders. |
