Hello,
I am in a big dilemma of whether to install a racingline intercooler and catch can ( at the time of stage 1+ or stage 2) or not. (on an OPF 2.0 EA888)
Basically I have done a lot of reading on the topic of catch cans and intercoolers, and I am about to do a bit of modding soon, but I couldn't find an exact answer whether it is worth fitting these with a relative low output change mod.
I have seen catch cans full of gunk, but am not sure if a PCV delete and catch can is of any benefit on a car thats on or below stage 2, and not tracked every weekend. (i.e. does it really save the engine from coking up, more so would it coke up that badly without one). Looks like a bigger bite to fit this, but if there was a confirmed real benefit to it in 'everyday life', i would put it.
Same with the intercooler, will it heat soak at stage 2 with the factory one badly? Or it is ok with that (most people say intercoolers and oil coolers are only required at stage 3)
