So i went on Extemeturbosystems.com and found out the the anodized black intercooler comes in 3", 3.5" and 4"..... so what size do i need? before i put it on i will have a BC at 22 psi, catback, downpipe with o2 housing, maybe S1s, intake, walbro 255, LICP, turbo timer, gauges.... so witch one would work best and look closest to stock so when i go get smogged i pass.

3" is all you will need even with a larger turbo. In fact the stock intercooler is efficient for a good amount of power. I believe about 450hp.

k cool, then i was told that before an intercooler and cams, i should have around 310 to 320 WHP, and with cams 340 to 350 WHP, is this true, and how much without cams, but with an intercooler and how much with all of it, lol, so its easyer to understand

my setup Buschur BC(at 22 psi) and licp, HKS intake and catback, Titek DP and o2 housing, Walbro 255...

cams GSC S1s

Intercooler ETS 3" anodized black

How much WHP with my basic setup and a good tune?(no cams, no intercooler)

How much WHP with an intercooler?(no cams, but with my other setup)

How much with everything?(cams, intercooler, and my setup)

an intercooler will not help at all until you upgrade the turbo..

The numbers that you stated look to be right, with and without the cams.

oh ok, thanks, i was refering to the modding for dummys, it says a 3" will decrease the chances of heatsoak, and provide minimal gains, so i was gonna get one anyways.

Landis the stock intercooler is for stock evo's when you run more boost, more air flow the turbo and engine work much harder and depend on the intercooler.The stock one is good for 400whp but you'll notice in the summer and maybe the winter your going to experience tremendis heat soak that robs alot of power and the car is not going to make all it's potential power.3inch is big enough just remember when ording make the option for widetank it like's really nice on the car it fill's in the hole bumper cutout.With a aggresive tune no intercooler 355whp if it a freak,365whp with intercooler,and for the hole setup 385whp with alot of tq,this based on dynojet dyno.

ok cool, so will the wide tank bolt up to the stock piping locations

landis507

does the wide tank none anodized look about like stock or with it stick out wen i smog my car

IDRINKV8'S

Yes no problem's good choice for intercooler.Who's going to tune your evo let me know i tell who's the best to go too.

IDRINKV8'S

No one will notice only you the only diffrence is it just fill's in those empty corner area's on side of the bumper were the intercooler meet's the cutout's.The anodized look's so much better then the black one.

landis507

im in socal, so idk, i gotta look around, so the wide tank none anodized IC look just about like stock??? or should i get the anodized one? and i dont have all my parts yet so i havent really looked for a tuner but i no there is some around here, but im gonna wait till i have my hole setup before i tune it

IDRINKV8'S

Just go with the anodized so don't have headache's later on plus the black is suppose to look stealth but poeple know evo 's form the factory don't come with black intercooler's so for that it's point less,and it look's cheap too.

landis507

ok so just get the normal colored one, silver or what not
