Intercooler for JBS04?

[MaxIbizaCupra]

Hi,
I'm getting a JBS04 turbo fitted and saw a second hand pro-alloy one for sale for the mk3 cupra and was wandering if that would be a good intercooler to use or if the forge would be more suitable. Also, are there any modifications you have to do to fit a pro-alloy and if so what are they?

Cheers,
Max

Forge would probably be at its limit, but i reckon would be ok. Havent seen that many great figures for that turbo so it should be ok.

cupra-matts forge was ok on his GT2X at 300bhp.

would the pro alloy be ok on that turbo because it mainly seems as though only the IHI 'd cars are using them?

Pro-alloy would be sweet and craig is selling it at a quality price. I'm tempted with it!

ours will do the job just fine

cooler would be fine mate craigs is a bargain at that price!! better to have one that its capable of more rather than running a smaller one at its limits! but i dont know what power jbs04 is capable of! so guess the forge one would be fine, just at over 300bhp my forge one wasnt cpoing so well

im running k04 and forge front mount, no issues so far, will post some logs at weekend, might make it all a bit clearer ....

this was my last rr with my jbs04 and this is with the forge fmic

 

[pdcupra]

my old k04 based car with a forge fmic made 265bhp - no issues with cooler at all

 

[MaxIbizaCupra]

slightly random question, but does anyone know how much postage would be on a forge fmic with the crash bar as I have found a second hand one but its pretty far to collect?

Cheers,
Max

When i sold my forge cooler the postage was about £35 next day delivery.

Agreed Forge intercooler is up to the job of JBS04.

I only changed mine as iam gonna be running ~400BHP soon.

Forge's customer service is second to none aswell.
