    Hypothetical Question/discussion

    my original idea was to run super chilled liquid from a resivoir (SP?) into a liquid to air heat exchanger (which would be after the turbo), in theory, the air charge would slow down momentarily and transfer most of the heat from the air charge into the liquid, and then that liquid be pumped in...

    Hypothetical Question/discussion

    to follow up my original question- so what would the difference be going from say...60 deg F in your intake manifold to zero deg F? 10 hp, 20? How about if you could cool the manifold charge to -50? What would happen then?

    Hypothetical Question/discussion

    Ok- What whould the effects, if any, on your car if you could cool you're intake charge air temp to say, 0 degrees F? Would you make massive power, would you throw a piston through your hood? Would it do anything harmful, or would it be awesome? Just curious, since my buddy raised the...

    T4 Upgrade - HELP me if you've done it.

    if youre only going for 400 hp. just get an upgraded ct, that is relatively inexpensive, as well as eliminating oil line mods, a new WG, exhaust and intake pipe.

    Paint Shop delima

    believe it or not, maaco does pretty good work, you just have to slip the painter an extra 100 dollars so he puts some extra paint on for ya, then simply color sand and buff-comes out like glass. Just make sure the prep guy does his job. If you look at the work a shop does, the tools they use...
