Just think of it as cold air induction... Cold air is denser than hot air... So exhaust gases are hot... Intercooler will cool the exhaust gases before they are pushed into the inlet mani... Cooler air better combustion. 
You know what...despite knowing how all the induction and intercooler process works from a mechanical point of view....I never actually thought of it like that! What a total ***** I am! Cheers though Jay that cleared that stupid question up!!Jjay":35hxok51 said:Just think of it as cold air induction... Cold air is denser than hot air... So exhaust gases are hot...

Who knows or has an idea of what fuel pump is good/suitable to go with all this then?!

exhaust gases are going no where near the intercooler though?Jjay":3tdtekv7 said:Just think of it as cold air induction... Cold air is denser than hot air... So exhaust gases are hot...

Cold air is denser as said above which means it has more oxygen in it than warm air due to the molecules being more "tightly packed", this makes the combustion process burn better and cleaner, giving more power.
The reason an intercooler is fitted to a turbocharged car is because when you compress air it gets warmer, so when the turbo charger compresses it and when you remap your car and raise the boost pressure, the higher the boost pressure the warmer the air gets, this is why most people will fit a larger front mounted intercooler when playing with boost pressure on a turbo car

i would use the 1.8 laguna fuel pump in your TCE. it's what i'm using, and it'd be impossible to get close to it's capacity. it also helps to better pressurise the fuel tank for a more efficient delivery to the injectors, so everythings happy!
Is it just a general 1.8 Laguna? As in doesn't specifically have to be from a mk1 or mk2 etc? And does that then fit into the tank in place of the standard? And finally any modifications to get it in/to work?tw11ngo":7v9431ud said:lgonzalez":7v9431ud said:You know what...despite knowing how all the induction and intercooler process works from a mechanical point of view....I never actually thought of it like that!

Well I stand corrected about the intercooler... My bad. ;-).
Good thing I'm no mechanic then! Lol!

Hahahahaha!!! you're funny...I did say my job primarily consists of 'take this bit off and fit a new one of the same type' lmao. Credit to you (and others) though you know much more than I do and I'm glad you don't mind sharing the infoJjay":3elbtpix said:

If I'm honest.... What I do know about cars and how to do the things I do... I don't have a damn clue where I learnt it or how I know it. But I'm glad I do
The only point that matters is you do! Which means you can point me in the right direction haha!Jjay":26md4099 said:If I'm honest.... What I do know about cars and how to do the things I do... I don't have a damn clue where I learnt it or how I know it. But I'm glad I do

Exhaust gases don't go into the intercooler, they pass through the turbine and out the exhaust which in turn spins the compressor, sucking air into the intercooler.Jjay":b7w96d6x said:Just think of it as cold air induction...

yep, as above air comes through the airbox, through the inlet on the side of the turbo, its compressed and out the front of the turbo, down to the intercooler, through the intercooler and is cooled, up to the throttle body, through the inlet manifold, into the cylinder then down the exhaust manifold and through the exhaust side of the turbo to spin it up then out the exhaust!!
and breath!!! lol

Ahhhh now we have that all cleared up thanks
On another note...where the hell to buy all the pipe work for the fmic from?!!! can't seem to find much of a choice bar eBay! But did manage to find a fmic I really like for £100 https://www.mishimoto.co.uk/mishimoto-universal-intercooler-small-black.html
Also would 2.5" pipe work be ok for it or would it be too tight of a fit?

If to know how it needs to be routed then you'll often be better off buying the individual parts. Plenty of sellers on eBay.
I think I'll have to guess a little as kinda want to do it in one hit, rather than taking the front end apart to check and the doing it all again. Anyone have opinions on whether 2.5" pipe work will fit behind the bumper? I guess it's not too much different between that and 2.25"Matt":2m5bj380 said:

I wanna have an intercooler as well but I'm not really looking forward to cutting pieces infront and on the bottom of my bumper to make an universal one fit.
