20g

[kandt]

just a question is it alright to run a 20g with a stock sidemount intercooler?

yes you could, but i wouldn't run it at a high psi or you'll heat soak the intercooler and overheat the engine at which point you'd be blowing hot air into the intake. in order to take full advantage of a 20g, a FMIC is a necessity

how much boost would be to much

or what if i had this done to my intercooler

i just read your mod list. i personally would get the FMIC and leave the 16g, and run it at a higher psi. buying a 20g w/o a FMIC at a low psi, you wouldn't go faster than your 16g w/ a FMIC at a high psi. just my opinion

well the reason is my friend traded his 20g for my 16g today because he can't afford to put it on his car. but i'm trying to pay for a loan from when i built my motor. so i don't really have a money to buy a front mount. so thats why i asked if the dejon sidemount would be of any help.

If you are getting the 20G for a really good deal then yes for now run it with the stock sidemount.

so your saying that buying the sidemount from dejon tool would be a waste of money. i think i got an awesome deal on the 20g because i just traded my 16g for it

well that's a different story. if you got the 20g for dirt cheap or free, hell yeah, put it on, just don't boost more than 18psi on that sidemount if it's daily driven

If you got a 20G for free the slap it on save your cash and buy a FMIC.
