Arrow WTB - Aftermarket Intercooler, Prefer 7"

hi all,

i'm wanting to upgrade my OEM intercooler for something aftermarket

i've read good things about the Wagner and VRSF products. i'm after something in 7" as i've read positive things about this size core. although, if you have something smaller please contact me anyway.

if you are taking your car back to stock i am willing to give you my OEM cooler as a part of the deal.

thank you.

All depends on how many performance mods you have installed tbh
7" VRSF is best bang for buck if you want to go this route
But unless you are FBO you can get by no problems with a smaller 5" which doesn't require trimming of your radiator support

If I had my time I'd skip the 5inch and Buy the second intercooler first
Go the seven inch

thanks for your replies guys

i have read a bunch of threads; opinions vary from "a good 5 inch is fine for FBO" to "the 7 inch is the way to go" to "be careful with pressure drop in an IC too big for your requirements"

i think on a sweltering sydney summer day, with my flash tune pushing things a bit hard, i'll be happy to have gone 7". also, i think 7" may be easier to sell if that needs to happen one day.

VRSF is good if you are on a budget
