Intercooler Piping Gains?

GT500R · November 26, 2015, 09:18:01 PM

Has anyone purchased upgraded intercooler pipes for their ecoboost vehicle? Either cold or warm side? Dyno or 1/4 mile or vbox tests for gains?

Thanks

Gotcha, no gains to be had. I wasn't sure if these are like my VW where there they have a pancake pipe on the hot side and you can gain 10 hp just by doing piping. So these oipes are pretty efficient then?

If you are going with a turbo upgrade, maybe just Meth & turning up the boost they might be needed...cases of the stock hot side pipes expanding under high boost making it hard to tune an inconsistent boost pressure.

The general consensus is that they do not provide any gains. However, they prevent boost leaks from upgraded turbos running more boost. So while no gain, prevention of a loss is good too.
