Hahn Super 16g

[turbomike8]

I have a 1998 GST with a Hahn super 16g turbo. I have heard that if you have to big of an FMIC it will have "lag". What size FMIC would be a good match for this turbo?

With the Hahn super 16g you arent going to have to worry about getting too big of an intercooler.

The increased time to full boost when using a huge intercooler is negligible, and is generally offset by the benefits of the cooler air charge.

I`m running the Hahn Super 16G turbosystem with their side mount intercooler on my 98 TSI. It`s an awsome setup. I have virtually no lag, very little or no knock, & the entire system is as reliable as bone stock. I see no need to go with a fmic unless you want to push 400+ hp . . .

Mike, i think you are refering to "pressure drop", opposed to "lag". that turbo should see full boost at around 3k rpm. imho, a "laggy" turbo would be over 4k rpm.

regardless of the turbo, you will expirence "pressure drop" however, with a huge FMIC and the super 16g, you shouldnt notice it much...maybe a half a sec.

I have the hahns super 16g and i get full boost at around 4 grand but i also have a little shaft play so im playin it safe till the new setup.

Thanks everyone for all of the feedback, I think I will go with the intercooler that I have now and see how that works out for me.

Since turbo's are rated in cubic feet per minute, like a big 16g is 550 CFM @ 15 psi, and the difference in intercooler volume much, much less than that, we are talking about ms (milli-seconds) of difference here.
