Greddy Spec M Intercooler
I installed my Greddy Intercooler over the weekend,
What changes am i expecting to get from this?
The only mod i have for now is a 3" turboback exhaust.
Here are the before and after pics.

I was told that however,
Being in a hot country does it extend the life of my turbo?
Also, Im getting my headers and O2 housing followed by a flash, by then would the intercooler have any benefits HP wise?

From what ive seen you might get a few HP out of it. The factory IC is good for 400HP at least, so upgrading it at this point in the game is somewhat unnecessary, but it should drop the intake temp a bit especially with you being in a hot country. You wont see those HP gains though until you get a tune/flash. I was curious about that intercooler cause its so cheap, so once you get tuned/flashed keep us posted if you dyno it and the gains you get.

Greddy Spec-M? I've never heard of this intercooler from Greddy before. I heard of the Spec-V and R. Is this the lower one which used Bar and Plate instead of the Tube and Fin? Looks nice by the way.

I was more interested in keeping the temp down because of the number of blown turbo's in this area. (playing it safe).

From what i know an exhaust manifold and an O2 Housing and a good tune would help me out.

You didn't mention the boost controller in your first post. But its still wierd first SET of mods. Your OK with me on the exhuast and the boost controller, but the intercooler and exhuast manifold probably won't do to much for you at this point. A good tune would be advisable.
