Intercooler + Oil Catch Can

[billionairebum]

Hello

Two questions if I may:
{Car: 1.9 tdi ASZ, SMIC, Stage 1, DP, resides in JHB}

1: I ran some logs yesterday and found that My intake temps hit 110 from 2nd to half way through third (WOT, ambient 23 C). If a FMIC can drop those temps to half then surely it will be able to increase the performance by 10kw or some margin?

2: Are oil catch cans necessary on the ASZ considering the boost is around 1.5 to 1.8? I thought these would only be necessary when going BT?

Regards

1. yes you might be able to squeeze that power out of the cooler after re tune
2. no its not necessary

on the intercooler, yes you will get a bit more power, but more importantly the power will be consistant, and you wont lose any power to heatsoak after a few hard pulls.
