Default turbo question
theres a lot of talk about all newer turbo's being water cooled. my question is, if this is true, do you still need an intercooler, or no?

water cooled has to do with the turbo housing. It uses coolant from the cars coolant system to cool the turbo, this extends the turbo's life.

This does not replace the need for an intercooler

All FMIC's are basically the same, even though if i was producing a lot of power, i would go with either an HKS or Greedy IC. My .02
