daniel_g Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Less intercooler pipe, quicker spool time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can be rotated easily mate, was going to ask whether you wanted me to do it while I had it in. But wasn't sure what intercooler set up you had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 It won't make any noticeable difference really, shorter the pipework the quicker the spool up in theory. Can't remember what angle we set it at it might already be rotated to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't remember what angle we set it at it might already be rotated to be honest. It really makes naff all difference guys, you should see some of the OEM truck installations. The pressure drop across the cooler core makes a lot more difference than the pipework Quote Link to post Share on other sites
