front mount @ cold air intake

[C yar]

hi guys

I just fitted a front mount intercooler today with custom pipes, we made them from sratch,

my question to you guys is, what is the point of a cold air intake when the air is heated up so much from the turbo ?

i dont see the point ! as it is i have a pod filter and a cold air duct coming from the fron bumper to the old intercooler pipe hole feeding air to the pod filter.

can anyone explain it to me ..

P.s woohooo the power increase was ....oh yeah ... a different car completely

This is my theory. If the temperature entering your turbo is say 10 degrees less than say a pod filter without cold-air ducts, then surely the temperature coming out of the turbo would be less. Whether it would be 10 degrees less, i dont know.

I wonder if anyone knows this? Would be interesting.

BTW. The performance increase of your front mount, is that with no extra boost?

Robo's right.

A 10 degree reduction in inlet equals a 10 degree reduction at outlet, or pretty close to anyway.

my boost was already up at 12 psi and droped down to about 10 after fitting the front mount.. not sure why ..

Each degree cooler/hotter in the intake is multiplied by the turbo. Each degree at the throttle body equal 50 times that at the exhaust. Free power people. Cold Air intake will give you a power increase you can feel.
