New intercooler

[Lito]

so I've been doing research as of late regarding intercoolers and pressure drop vs cooling effeciancy and I've come to the conclusion that i want to swap my cheapy godspeed core with something with a bit more quality, trouble is im not sure what. I've found a few places in Brisbane that do custom cores but that sounds quite pricey. i also did a little searching on ebay and found this.... Darkside Universal 2.25" Front Mount Intercooler for 1.9 TDI (FMIC) - 540x140x65 | eBay
they seem to specialise in vag and it looks like a decent product.
does anyone have any suggestions i don't really wanna pay more than around $300-$400.

oh and the rough dimensions im looking for are

height 6.5in
depth 2.5in
core length 20in
end tank to end tank 28in


any input would be greatly appreciated

Whats wrong with your current intercooler?

Have you done any testing to conclude that it is not doing a good job?

at the recent polo dyno my iat were around 60c ambient was about 30. and it doesn't seem to be putting down the right amount of power for the boost i run. last dyno was about 135kwatw running around 22psi. it just feels like its pulling back at high rpm

Lito, we should log that on the street and not the dyno. Even at 60 my Polo was going hard. When did you last put some plugs in it?

hmm, well last time i did plugs was less than 5k ago. i have a new set ready to go in just waiting on a new cts to arrive (taking soooo long, thank you x-mas post rush). i was gonna see if that made it any better but if not the only thing left is the ic or the maf... i wouldn't mind doing some more logging though, just to narrow down what's going on
