Previously I looked at results published by Integrated Engineering for their direct replacement intercooler for the Mk7 GTI/R and tried to estimate what the results might translate to if they were presented in more typical fashion, as flow rate at a specified pressure drop. The estimates I came up with were: R: 201 CFM @ […]

Intercooler pressure drop is an interesting subject for which most products have no performance data. While density recovery via temperature drop is the main purpose for having an intercooler, aka heat exchanger, the restriction to airflow caused by the presence of the intercooler in the charge air path is not something to ignore. Existing Data:
