May get the usual grief here about re Intercooler's vs Charge coolers but my main area of concern is if the following sounds reasonable and that it would work before wasting hard earned money on it!
I plan on creating a similar set up to that shown here on my turbo VX.....
As I have removed the boot and added an Exige S2 roof and rear section this approach seems to make sense...
The plan would to be to create a similar style 'tunnel' to channel the air from the roof scoop but would also direct the air from the ear where the intercooler was previously situated to here. I know little about intercoolers but assumed assume bigger is generally better so looking at a product like this (would need to check size + pipe diameter) link .
The aim is to get the most out of the engine I can without having to go to the extent of upgrading engine internals so want an intercooler setup that will not restrict this......
Does the above sound like a reasonable approach? Obviously being a turbo VX the pipe work will be some what different as I will need to route the downward firing air from the turbo to the intercooler at the rear..... a concern of mine would be if this would create excessive turbo lag or if with tuning this could be countered.....
Any advice would is appreciated, even if it is to say this is a non starter!
Thanks,
