OK so I have the Forge twin pass IC kit with both hoses on one side, but is a single pass intercooler ALOT better for performance, will it run alot cooler, be more efficient and perform better or not make much difference at all?
What temps are you experiencing. Compare your temps to the LCR guys running the forge FMIC single pass. Your car is ouputing similar power to the stage 2 lcr owners.OK so I have the Forge twin pass IC kit with both hoses on one side, but is a single pass intercooler ALOT better for performance, will it run alot cooler, be more efficient and perform better or not make much difference at all?
Ok thanks - I notice that Pro Alloy Ltd. don't do ANY twin pass IC's, all the same side intercoolers are vertical cores and still single pass.
"The flow rate of these coolers is over double compared to a double pass intercooler."
It was comments like that which caught my attention!
indeed - but no good if you have to have 10ft of pipework to get it to utilise it
best option for you would be an Ibiza (sided) manifold to single pass IC
I think it replaces the 'squashed' metal pipe in the wheel arch? you'd need to put stops on your steering rack as the wheel will touch it
I like the look of the Pro Alloy kit:
The Cupra version has a new pipe coming straight from the turbo down the right side of the engine to the front.
A few of the vertical single-pass ones look a much better solution for the Cupra, the EVOMS is/was a firm favourite across the pond.
