too late!


Ryde or Die:

Well that's my problem........ I'm in the market for a turbo upgrade, but I have several big choices to make. I would love to get the TO4 HKS unit, but that would pretty much tap me out for just the turbo and manifold. So I'm thinking of doing the 60-1 compressor swap, get my e-manage system, and pretty much all the rest of my upgrades I wanted to do, including the intercooler......... But just in case I ever wanted to upgrade the turbo, I wanted to get an intercooler that could at the very least handle 20-30 psi. I just don't want to buy a bunch of parts now that I'll have to change later.

Any suggestions............???

I know people had said the starion could handle 20 psi, but could it handle any more than that?

^^^ Not willing to risk it!

I guess I'm either doing one of two things; 1) Buying the Starion unit, and welding on my own end taks 2) Spearco Core and welding on my own end tanks. Either way I guess I'll be welding something soon...............

Go with the Spearco core. The Starion unit is not very good (or so I have read).
