Has anyone changed the intercooler? What one would be a good upgrade?

Looking at a focus ST FMIC but not sure if it would improve anything?

cheers again folks

anyone? someone must have an idea.......................

It's already an FMIC so why not just stay with what's there?

Would they're be no advantages then? Was just an idea i was toying with. Knew it had a frount mount but wasn't sure if i could make it more efficient

It's sandwiched along with the Rad and A/C radiator, so the best way to do anything I guess would involve removing it and putting a new one in with free air flow.

I have to say that I don't think heat soak is an issue, so I'd probably spend your money elsewhere.

Thanks buddy as i said, was just toying with the idea..........hhmmmm...........bigger turbo or suspension set up now :rofl: lol

Low air temp = greater density = better bang.

You only need a bigger (more efficient) intercooler if your change temp (air temp after the intercooler) if high. With a standard turbo within its efficiency island I would hope the standard intercooler is easily upto the job. However the only way to know this is to fit a act (air charge temp) sensor/gauge and monitor. However a turbo upgrade may lead to higher temps! I am not sure where you would mount and pipe a bigger intecooler though

I can't think that there will be too much of an effect by changing the Intercooler....

Hmmmmm.............think i'll look into a suspension and ARB set up then thanks again guys, helpful as always
