Guys, PM me your costs so I can add it here.
Data Summary
Intercooler Performance - Intake Temps
Comment: We spent a bit of time between runs 2 and 3 of VWIndahouse's Polo to get the temps down again for run3, as seen in the full logs which distorts the IT comparison a bit.
However looking at the increase in temps in each run the performance order is:
1. Forge - Leitch - kept temp increases amazingly low through all 3 runs.
2. Ebay - Sharkie - outperformed the SEAT by a few degrees consistently across all 3 runs.
3. SEAT - VWIndahouse - performed better than the APR by a few degrees consistently across all 3 runs.
4. APR - Eddy - worst of the brand names in increase in each run.
5. Ebay - Jasn78 - at least it is better than stock
6. Stock - Spraycanmansam & GotBoost? - it sucks
The Forge, incidentally was also the quickest to return to low temps. And the Ebay coolers of Sharkie and Jasn78 are of different manufacturers.
NB: To get an idea of the boost, subtract 1000 (std air pressure) and then divide by 1000. Therefore 2400mbar = 1.4bar boost
