hi ive got a t28 turbo to go on my coupe,could anyone tell me what would i gian by doing this ,also if i put a fmic on whith it ,would i be able to run higher boost because this will bring the intake temp down, is this true or is it just wishfull thinking.
could anyone tell me the what sort of size intercooler i can put in front of the fans.

You will notice a power differance with the Std Intercooler on and with a better intercooler it will be even better. Depends on what car you have and if you have A/C

Even running the same boost level the T28 will deliver a higher volume of air to the cylinders, so more power and torque. And with the intercooler, you should be able to up the boost to 13/14psi safely. 8)

The cheaper route is to source a pulsar intercooler and modify it so the end tanks are at the same end. £70
Then the hosing for it is about £100.
Slimline fans - £90.
