Would an Audi TT intercooler be a good choice?
Hey Guys,
Just wondering, I have 2 of these intercoolers sitting at home.
I think that if and when I go ahead with turboing a Miata I may use one of these intercoolers.
Has anyone used one, or know if it flows well etc?
I figure it's used on a 1.8T so it would be decent for the 1.6 engine....
thanks

The TT flanges come straight out on either end, no bends.
I think you could do the over the top setup or maybe mount on its side and run either way beside the rad...of course i haven't actually looked into installing an I/C in one of these cars yet

I'm not sure if it ever got posted here, but one of the local guys took a A4 1.8T intercoolers and mounted it for an "over the top" style IC for his M45 hotside.... The pictures looked pretty good, and it seemed to fit....
Will see if I can find the thread..... Found two on m.net

SCs like short runs, so I'm going to do an over the top when I get an IC.... either make it or get it (at this point though, making it sounds like a good idea). Although, I'm still learning what characteristics make up a good IC. <G>
