Mods while timing belt replacement?

the only problem i am having at the moment, is the car is cutting out... but that has nothing to do with the intercooler, more than likely a loose connection....

theres no problems with having a front mount with stock ecu. All you are really doing is increasing the amount of air which gets cooled as it goes from your turbo to the throttle body.

If anything, it will make the car run better, keeping temperatures lower.....

You'll need a after market ecu, after you start messing with upgrading your turbo, injectors, etc....

If your really worried i think most guys settle for the saf-c air fuel controller.... sorts out the major problem, of rb25's running to rich....

well having cooler intake air temps surely must effect the ecu maps, this is my concern.

i have heard of instances where the engine lost its smoothness and torque after the installation of aftermarket intercoolers.

i am not a big fan of piggy back systems as i only had previous experiences with aftermarket ecu's, perhaps i need to research them a bit...
