Twin Intercoolers - ?
Just a thought ????
Had the Alisport Intercooler [from Discocuzzy] fitted.
Still got the original one.
Just wondering if there's any benefit to plumbing in the original one alongside the Alisport?

Increasing the length of the forced induction tract (by adding a second intercooler) will only serve to lessen the effectiveness of the turbo. The pressure effect of the turbo is reduced as the tract is lengthened so you might eventually need a second turbo to boost your cooler air which would defeat the purpose. The ideal is turbo to intercooler to inlet-manifold with as short a pipe run as possible.
Or put another way, stop thinking - it will rot your brain......... The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

You nearly got it right, fit twin intercoolers along with twin turbos from the D4 and some TDV8 injectors to boot
