anyone give me any ideas why there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference in power after the intercooler has been fitted?

What engine did you fit it to?

 

[Mozzer]

where did you fit it and any leaks

 

[Jim Doodle]

did you reroute the ducting to get good airflow?

 

[Conspiracy]

Looking at his profile, I think its gone onto an 88bhp 2.5

Made little or no difference when I did mine either.......injectors are the way forward

Yes it was a 2.5 TDI 88ps, it's gone behind the front bumper, plenty of ventilation to it no leaks as it's een tested to 1.2 on the boost, a bit of a let down really....but it looks cool

 

[Mozzer]

what size pipeing did you use any chance of some pics fitted, you should have some power gains

I recently fiited a standard top mount cooler to my 88bhp 2.5. Doesn't make much if any difference, sometimes just feels a little sharper pulling away!

This the cooler if itted to my 102 acv can honestley say it mad a very very noticable difference to power....of all the mods i have done this one i noticed the most but it is a big intercooler the pipework i kept to 2" to keep charge pressure drop to a minimum......

Because its roasting outside now, even at night.
Come winter time (or August knowing this country) when the outer air temp is significantly lower, you`ll get much better cooling thus more horses.

Here's the pics....

took it for a long drive and in fact it seems to have less umph!

Does the position of the sensor make any difference?

 

[Mozzer]

where is the temp and map sensor??

 

[Fishbreath Mc Pebblepincher]

Is that the plug type thing next to the turbo? if so it's still there on the plastic pipe t's just turned upside down

where abouts?

 

[Fishbreath Mc Pebblepincher]

It's on the underneath of the plastic pipe you can see under the expansion tank..

 

[Fishbreath Mc Pebblepincher]

Why does it matter where it is?

 

[Fishbreath Mc Pebblepincher]

Is there any thing else i haven't taken into consideration?

 

[Rake]

A remap.

Adding an IC alone will not add very much power.

 

[Mozzer]

Is that 90 degree pipe from an Lt 2.5tdi looks familer if thats were the sensors are then that should be fine. also long as the sensors are close to the inlet and post Intercooler
