    ER Intercoolers on a Stage 1 S4?

    07-25-2012 02:52 AM #1
    I am in the process of looking for a bit more cooling and I was wondering if the ER intercoolers would be too large for this application? I am inevitably turning stage 2+ soon and I think I could retain a decent amount of loss power due to the inefficient stock IC's. I could go AWE or RS4, but these are relatively the same price as the ER's... and ER's are proven to give between ~5-15 (from ambient) degree intake temps, compared to ~55-65 (pulling from memory) degrees on the stockers. I also want to stay sleeper + retain my front end/fog/washer operation, so FMIC is not a good option.

    Is there anyone with experience that could give me some input?

    ERs are very nice. If you have the cash, go for it.

    The silly rabbits are custom made by a guy on AZ (ITGUY) and perform better than AWE's and little bit less than ER's. There are also WAGNER intercoolers that perform better than AWE's aswell and is slightly cheaper.

    Also, you got a PM.
