just wonderin if any of u guy have used or mounnted a intercooler sprayer before and if so how was the power gains from it????and how hard was the install??[sm=gears.gif]

 

youre not going to see any "power gains" .. what you are going to see is cooler intake temps.. and you are going to keep your intercooler and turbo from heat sinking.. which is actually just going to keep you from loosing power.. not actually gaining any..

 

but i always thought/been told the cooler the air the more hp ur gonna get.....isn't that right or am i missin a part of the equation???

 

true but changing the temp slightly wont yeild you any real huge noticable gains. the gians from a sprayer are the same as with an intercooler (well not really) it cools the air charge so you can effectivly run more boost. An intercooler will make a bigger difference as it lowers the temp drastically compare to stock, whereas a sprayer is just frosting on the cake.

 

so it will help just not a noticable diff.?

 

from your mod list no. But a fmic will, and the sprayer will help cool too.

 

The sprayer wont be noticed on an intercooler till its getting heat soaked which is hard to do with a k03 but say you go bigger turbo and depending on the temp out it can happen pretty easliy and then the sprayer would be really effective

 

If your on the stock IC and strapped for cash do what I did and drill some holes in the passenger side fender lining. That or buy a s4 fender liner. It wont add hp but it will help fight heat soak, and I do this to all cars I own with a smic (3 so far) I havent tested my audi yet but on the horrible smic on a dsm it went from too hopt to touch on a summer day, to cooler then outside temp.

 

well im tryin to lay all of the ground work for the k04 or the gt28rs.....don't know which one yet.

 

yea getting that flow through the stock Ic will help alot for starters
