Which one?

Guys. Intercoolers MAKE power. They increase the density of the charge, thereby increasing actual CHP. They don't free up anything. That's like saying a turbo frees up power. Things like underdrive pulleys and lightened flywheels 'free up' WHEEL horsepower. Crank Horsepower remains the same with these mods, but drivetrain loss is reduced.

I've actually never heard of an intercooler giving any sort of a hp boost, and also heard there might be a problem with hitting boost cut with an aftermarket intercooler.


ETS's intercooler & intake added 17 RWHP to my MX-5....dyno proven (installed while strapped onto the dyno!)

Thank you. Exactly what I said.
