SignUp Now!Whats the best intercooler for the TTA and where do i get one?
The best IC for a TTA is an alcohol injection kit.
Aside from that, nobody makes an IC today. The only two I know off where the Dequick front mount, and a couple SLIC from Mease and another source.. those are like hens teeth.
Buick one wont fit due to ground clearance problems.
Even with my Dequick FM.. I would see 190 IAT at 25 PSI boost without alky.
I respectfully agree with Julio. If I knew what I knew now I would have chose the TT chip and Julio's Alcohol kit. Tough combo to beat!
The IC does work and is worth the money. Polished her up and ported the neck. I like grinding on things I am using a mixture of 100 low lead/100 unleaded to increase the life of my 02 sensor. What a pain to mix!!!
I would take out the stock IC. Clean the IC , port the neck ,remove the screen and lower the IC scoop. Do a search...
what do one of these cost??

I respectfully disagree. The alcohol helps cool the charge and the stock intercooler flows plenty well for a stockish TTA. However if you're building a high horse - big turbo car you really need flow. Joe, you may not have seen a huge increase because that wasn't a bottle neck in your car. If you were in the 9's or 10's I'm guessing you'd see a HUGE increase.
Just get a heated 02 from Caspers and don't worry about mixing. Let face it, that stock one will burn out eventually anyways so you might as well just replace it!
X2 on the heated O2. I wasted plenty of money on those. The stock 02 lasted longer than the heated ones for me sometimes.
I don't know why mine has worked so well then. I bought mine 3 years ago and haven't had a problem
I would do both. People on here sometimes act like you have to pick only one which just doesn't make any sense.
I went with the Big neck stock GN IC and the Alky. I did not want to mess around with fitment issues or racking up a stretch IC on the street. I am happy with the way my car runs.
