Hello,
I have a Volvo intercooler that I'm planning on putting in my Jeep. I had been looking at larger intercoolers (from Dodge CTD, Ford or Chevy diesels) and I was wondering how much turbo lag a larger intercooler would cause. I was thinking that since the tanks are not much larger than the Volvo's, and since the internal volume of the finned heat-exchanger area is not very large, the overall internal volume difference between a volvo intercooler and a bigger Dodge/Ford/GM truck intercooler may not be as large as we always thought.
At this point I'm tempted to sell my volvo IC and get a larger one. What does the board sayeth?
Thanks,
Mikel
