supercmaxer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm after another intercooler and know that the st version will fit on the c max, are they identical just one for a st and one for the c max, are they different in terms of volume, or wider. ? How easy is it to fit a after market one and to fit samco hoses ? Please forgive me if I've lost some people in translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Which st? exact model/ capacity/ year of intercooler do you wish to fit and - What model/ engine/ capacity (and fuel used!) c-max do you own? You say you are after another intercooler, is the old one faulty or are you just looking for more power? Have you done any(power enhancing) modifications already? In general - A different intercooler often does not make a big difference to power, sometimes it just increases lag, reducing power, to get the best out of an intercooler, it often has to be carefully matched to the engine and set up (by people that know what they are doing ) with a custom remap and/or increased boost and other mods to make it worth the effort Other mods like a remap (bluefin or high-end tuning box) (probably makes a bigger difference to power than everything els combined ), EGR delete, decat/ DMF delete etc are more benificial before considering a different intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2.0tdci, mine isn't faulty just want more power but know that ifs it's too big it will increase lag, I have blanked of the EGR have no Dpf, and have a standard exhaust with the back box removed ( straight pipe fitted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods and hoses mainly there aren't many around that are of the shelf unless they have been hiding somewhere lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
