You could be taken the second time and loose face, lol. The upgraded HE would help the S/C to cool down and continue it monster crushing work. Hope that helps. So No gains, just keeps you consistant.
well said jason. i would add that when the iat's spike the ecu shuts down the s/c until the temps come down. nothing like dusting a car on the track then running again and being passed by a bicycle when the s/c shuts down!!
i have tighed1's supercooler and it has been a great benefit to my car. in tn in the summer temps pass 100* and the car never has iat issues. the colant separation can be done for about 2$ and thats another great way to combat high iat's
dj's supercooler is huge!! if i remember its 26" x16"x 1" so much surface area to be cooled you can stick your finger in the coolant anytime and its lukewarm. try that with the oem and you pull back a blistered finger!
