no, I'm on about yours...

Your talking about moving your intake to fit a PAS cooler.

Why does it need a cooler (over standard)? Are you over heating it? Cant you fit a better fitting cooler if you really need it?

The PAS cooler we have on the Skyline is a bar and fin tube that is mounted between the FMIC and radiator.

Still waiting for pics of a car with an intercooler in front of the turbo....

One other problem with doing that, aside from the obvious fact that no one has done that ever, is that if you place a restriction on front of a turbo then in will piss oil everywhere and get very sick.

where the buggery did I get a PAS cooler from then

Er, my opinion is that cooler air in will help...


Put hot air in, and it'll get hotter through the turbo as expected.

They don't like having restriction in front of them. Seen it before on an engine that had the throttle body in front of the turbo due to a rule in the series the car was to he raced in. It wrecked the turbo!

Turbo is restricted by throttle body in normal position.....especialy when there is no dump valve in place and you come off the throttle. hence the chatter
