    Been shopping around for an intercooler to pop in the Z and I see that the price on them ranges from $1200 to $2800 and beyond...just wondering what some of you guys have got installed and whether it's worth the extra $1600 to get a bigger intercoolerAlso how much extra boost can you throw at the stock turboes with larger intercoolers?

    18psi is max but no in efficiency range...

    max boosts (standard turbos)...
    standard ecu...15psi
    aftermarket ecu or chip...16psi
    it all really depends 2 on your air/fuel ratio as can be a little less or little more on different cars etc.John :-Z

    My car ran for two years @18psi with>>

    stock injectors and turbos, and a Unichipped ECU, but that was about as much as could be extracted from that configuration with any reliability.Cheers
