FMIC Question: The more the better?
I know the bigger the intercooler, the cooler the air will run. With that in mind....
How about keeping the existing intercooler(s) and instead of taking out the old intercooler and its plumbing
I'm talking about connecting the 2(or 3) intercoolers together and making a bigger cooling system? Wouldn't that, in theory, be even cooler than 1 FMIC?

your theory is flawed in a few ways, mostly
the biggest problem is that with that many intercoolers, the pressure drop across the intercoolers would REALLY affect the turbo spool up and HP. Three small intercoolers can be worse than one big one

Like the engineer said earlier...
2 80% efficient ICs = 1 64% efficient IC However, the OEM 225 set-up already has 2 in tandem probably as a cost saving measure. The 180 has only the one in the passenger wheelwell.

MTM lists an intercooler upgrade for the 225 but there are no details as to what it is.
