Intercooler

Cheers Kenny, obviously removing the blanking plate allows the inter-cooler to work more efficiently otherwise whats its point? if remapping up to 400 hp would the standard inter-cooler with the plate removed be enough, if so are the tuning companies getting one over on us!

Evening J, that was my thinking, the standard one is over engineered and capable up to 400hp with the plate removed in my opinion.

What’s your thoughts on the standard exhaust? Again the mountune 375 kit uses the standard exhaust, with the valves open would it allow the engine to breath when putting out more than 375, or just fit a de-cat to be sure.

If both the above are true, it looks like the only restriction up to 400bhp is induction, fit a decent intake kit, blank off the exhaust valve mechanism leaving them open then it’s just a case of picking a remap of your choice. Might seem a cheapscate way of doing things but why waste the money if you don’t have too!

Cheers J,

Cant make up my mind up at the moment, some companies still testing like you say, others already on the market with 420+.

Do you know of anyone running the Pumaspeed 420 kit? Loads of torque from low down and very tempting.
