Default Boost controller, intercooler, etc.

I'm looking for a good boost controller cause well who doesn't want some more boost. I'm not quite sure which type I should get or which brand to trust the most. I'm on stock turbo.

Yes I will be getting a boost gauge also.

I found a Mishimoto intercooler. Zline. Anyone happen to have one or heard of how well it preforms?

I'm sure I'll have some more questions later on.

I work with someone who is sponsored by Mishimoto and they swear by his stuff. Never had a problem and great performance..

not sure if u have a 225 or not but that inter cooler is only rated to 22psi, and with a mbc, chances are you will set peak to around or right above it, be careful with that.

Its not worth the effort if you don't get a good core, spend $250+ for a Precision core

hpbc ftw!

When it comes to intercoolers, you get what you pay for. The higher the cost is mainly based on whats inside (more fins/inch) which lowers the temps far better. Just remember that all these cores are aluminum which isnt the best conductor so the more fins to pull the heat away the better
