    Good to know it sounds better

    If you want the engine to produce more torque & power and the car to be quicker, i recommend forget about chaging the intercooler and just get a remap, this will make the biggest difference and the most "bang for buck" other worthwhile mods are to fit a solid EGR blanking plate

    there is some potential for more power from exhaust mods but the remap on its own makes a big difference on an otherwise stock car

    changing the intercooler can loose power on some cars - for all sorts of complicated reasons
