what is the best intercooler as far as performance and fitment,

I am looking at hahn and synapse any other sugestions, the synapse will come with their boost tubing already.

 

Stock

 

could you possibly elaborate on your choice of the stock intercooler being the best please like does it flow more air than all the others is there just no need to upgrade, are the aftermarket ones bad???

 

unless your pushing 500+ theres really no need besides the "I have a aftermarket intercooler" factor. Kinda like the intakes as well.

 

i like my synapse ic never had any problems with it and it keeps my IAT down and dosnt get heat soaked as quick as the stock 1

 

i never heat heatsoak...new england > AZ i guess lol

 

ya its a 110 outside today

 

im in oklahoma my iat2s got up to 110 this summer I want something to keep them down next summer the car has noticably less power

what is the build quality and fitment like on you synapse and what did you notice as far as your iat2 temps

 

i love my hahn... iat2's were up in the 100's whenever i was haulin ass anywhere.... now they r usually around 85-88 with 70's during the day

 

The hahn intercooler is the best i think. Expensive though.

 

got mine for $300 hehe

 

i think hahn is the best, but also the most $$

 

Intercooler can't get the temps below ambient so if it's 110 out the car is gunna be down on power no matter what Intercooler your running (well except like a cry02 setup or something along those lines) .

 

bingo

 

I've got the Hahn and haven't had any problems at all and it fits/looks great, but I am biased now.

On that note, if I was to make a suggestion: For the power we make, if Hahn would take the current surface area of their intercooler and made it thinner in depth, then I think we'd have a winner all the way around. The thickness allows less flow restriction, but decreases it's effectiveness to dissipate heat from the air charge.

It doesn't seem to have a problem, but I'm just saying.
