G'day all
I have superchager running on vp v6 (powerdyne@6psi =185kw@wheels)but i would like to go up 10psi should i go for a intercooler setup or not.would it need it or make a difference . would it just be a waste of money?

It will make a difference but probably not a huge one. my mates vl turbo noticed a fair difference cos he installed his in the middle of summer... :yeah:

you wont stress the motor by putting one on. its better for it as it reduces the intake charge temp which in turn lowers your engine temps

cooler intake = more torque. raptor is running 10psi standard without a cooler no problems but most of the guys note a huge torque increase when a a cooler is fitted and it's tuned to suit

Could try a water to air intercooler? Not sure about fitment in the engine bay issues, but these will reduce lag issues that a front mount air to air has.....

Mounting an Intercooler will decrease the psi that makes it to your engine, if i was you install the cooler measure the psi at the engine and compensate for it...
