MPX's intercoolr is only 10 sq inches shy of Hahn's.

Hahn's intercooler actually isn't a bad option. It's just pricey.

the hahn is nice, yes. But imo slightly too big for a stock turbo. 250-350whp doesnt need a ic that freaking huge. if you go big turbo, 350-400+whp then ya go bigger.

I would think a dual tune 325whp (safe, when driven on all the time) and 400whp tune would be quite reliable.

Can the transmission handle it now though?

like BYT said "the stock clutch will laugh" anything pass 350hp at the crank, it will kill the clutch & tranny, your best bet is go with the ZZP stage 4 or 4+ clutch.. my clutch still feels like new from day one..

Matt@ZZP said the Tranny as well needs to get beefed up, because at a dig the tranny will flex to hell and may grind a gear or two from constant pressure on the gears/ heat and other parts if the clutch isnt upgraded..

you're doing it wrong.

clutches are rated in TQ.

anything above 365lb/ft to the wheels and it slips. Ask how I know.
