hello, everyone. i was thinking on geting a saab 900 intercooler and installing it and use it till i can aford to install my front mount.

anyone know the max boost one of these intercoolers can handle from a vf11?

it looks pretty easy to install and it will fix some of the problems im having with my car.

you won't really want to do anything more than 12 psi on a VF11, as they become quite inefficient after that

hmm. i was hopeing to be able to push it to at least 15psi with a fcd and that top mount.

yeah 15psi is pushing it. On the vf11 at even 10 psi you notice the lack of top end, and at 15psi it would fall on its face so hard after 4500 that it would feel like you lifted off the throttle.

Yeah, my TD04 does that at ~15psi once i get above 4500. I keep thinking something is wrong and im like oh yeah... this isnt the 16g

hmm, that sucks. im running 12psi right now with no intercooler

. i ran an m3 bmw and was pulling on him. witch i shit my self in amazement. my car started to over heat alittle, coolent was coming out of the over flow : (. what ever...

anyways ive decided NOT to get the saab intercooler. instead i got a 02 wrx one! it will be about a month till i install it but what ever. my car is almost prepped for the install and i just got it tonight.

we will see how it works... pic's?

this is the pipe im going to cut a section out of for the project. its perfect size.

those things are kinda a pain to fit in. I had one and sold it to get an 06 tmic.

ya i know. i was trying just to get a pre run at fitting it. there no very big but still a tight fit. i think ill be able to do it with ease though.

im crunk, at 3:30 im the morning. shit...

crunk = cronic drunk...

It fits, but it is quite a tight fit. Mine doesn't rest in its final position until you shut the hood and it gets pushed down that extra little bit.
