Cant you put some kind of boost gauge or what not pre intercooler to find out how much boost your losing without going back to the dyno?

 

yep...

 

....is that what you did you get those numbers already? lol

 

I havent done it yet, but thats what we did on the dyno. I used my map sensor for manifold pressure and the dyno barometer for compressor pressure. I can hook up my analog boost gauge to the compressor cover temporarily...although it will be a bit of a pain. I have a feeling I will be able to feel a difference, and see it with the temp rise. I dont think its magical like foose's intercooler, but it should work alright.

 

Why do you guys say that foose's intercooler is magical? Haha

 

I think he bought a better version and paid more compared to the ones that most guys on PT get off Ebay for around $150. He seems to keep most of his boost too.

 

Because his IATs drop as he makes a pass down the track.

 

Because its so good the output temperature actually drops during a run while under boost.

 

Foose's intercooler also cost $600 I used them on a couple big kits, they are NICE!

 

I went and drove around tonight to test it out...Im not exactly sure what it is, but the truck feels stronger than usual. Most likely a combination of the better intercooler, bigger compressor wheel, and more timing, but it just feels stronger all around. I did a quick 0-80 4wd launch like I did before and the temp rise was slightly lower, but it was by no means a fair test. I havent measured the pressure drop yet, mainly because my analog gauge is sticking, but so far it seems good!
