uprated intercoolers and snorkals???

yeh we are thinking of geting an uprated intercooler with our 110 200tdi and we have a snorkle ide like to know to

I'm new at this business, but I cant see why it would.. after all the intercooler is to supply cooler air? nothing to do with where it's coming from ..

Dunno if I'm on the right track here but I reckon that wot the mate of Big Ad means is that any advantage of fitting a bigger inter cooler would be cancelled out by fitting a snorkle. Cos fitting a bigger inter cooler means colder denser air therefore more of it, and a snorkle means longer air intake tract therefore more friction on the air going down it so less air going into the inter cooler.

Hope this helps,

That is what i ment stephen, so does anyone thing its makes that much diffrence???

It depends on how many seconds you want to shave of yer lap time.

Hmm, would help if you polish the inside of the snorkle & run the pipwork as straight as you can.

Reegards,

is it really going to make a diffrence? i mean are people fitting snorkels and thinking wow this is slow?

Some can restrict the flow slightly, but on the "Safari" type, you can actually get a ram air effect due to its shape, and force more air in.

intercooler cools air after turbo, so imo dont see why there shud be any difference!

If a snorkel reduces air-flow slightly, ( and I do mean if; don't forget there's a turbo sucking it in ), then a decent intercooler will more than make up for it. Go for it.
