Intercooler Air Flow

[Transporter]

Vag-com will tell you intercooler temperature in measuring block, however you want be able to switch water cooler ON with it.
For every 4 deg. C hoter air the engine is losing 1kw of power.

Yeah atm i just want to see if the mod makes a difference to cooler temps and there surround. Havent given it much consideration putting a water sprayer on but now that you mention it ill look into it and add it to my long list. Thanks for the info once again.

I will be doing this later today if i get time.

[shaneth]

cool let us know how you go.

[Kai]

okay so....

I didnt really care about mud going on there. And id say water is good for it So i choose a free mesh i had sitting at home.

This cost me nothing

Yes i know its dodgy. No i dont care. Id like the intercooler to break so thats an excuse for buying a new one.

Hey Kai, funny you say that (if you break it). Forge make an upgraded side mount intercooler for the 1.8T (see url), wonder if it would fit or is better than stock Polo side mount? Could be cheaper option and less involved than a FMIC.

Have you noticed any benefits yet?

[Kai]

Nope.

But i beat an sv8. So i was happy with that.

Probably won't be able to feel a difference HP wise, as it won't increase the HP enough for you too feel it. It should how ever prevent heat soak as air can now escape as it's been through the intercooler, so your car will produce good horsepower for longer Perfect for those spirited drives or track days!
