PT-900 maXXXed out, need options i may be researching in the wrong place but looking to up my intercooler
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5T...Y2VhNDc2&hl=en
thinking of the precision 1500 but info is scarce.. i had to draw this up just so i could have something to compare mine to.. anybody have real world photos?
here's the current situation..

The PT 1000 is better and smaller. The newer ones use a single Garrett 1,000 hp core, I bought the same core that they use and I'm having someone fabricate the end tanks, I think overall it will be close to the price of the PT1000 with cast tanks but more setup for my combo.

Another option would be to run a larger reservoir and a pump with higher flow rate. I put a 10gal water tank in the trunk with a huge intank pump. Of course ice if you're not already doing that. IAT's at WOT never broke 90-but they do tend to be less with a blower anyway.

my problem with the 900 is not really iat's but the pressure drop across it.. its too restrictive for my airflow needs.
dont have any data without meth but i dont typically see inlet temps over 80 even at 24# boost
i think the intercooler is keeping me from running more boost.. i need more boost!

IMO, the meth spray will lower IAT's for sure. But how much of the reading is an actual temperature drop, or perhaps just the temperature of the meth hitting the sensor....who knows.
That's why it can be good to know IAT's without the meth. Maybe they are crazy.
What about adding another A2W unit in parallel. That would allow more airflow and cooling capacity.
Any room the mirror the cooler on the other side of the car ?

Naw that's an old pic from the fab work to do a downpipe that fit the stock k. My only option space wise is a single cooler where the current one is. Car still has stock bumper support up front and air filter stuff on opposite side. I always run meth.
checked my buddies today its a pt1200 he has it in the front bumper of his t/a. he just trimmed the support. on precisions site it looks like the new gen 2 core is used in the pt1500 and its even more compact. and the pt2000 has very similar dimensions to what you have. both have 4" inlets and outlets.
The new style PT1000 will flow more air than that unit as it only goes across one core. I would expect the pressure drop to go down and the inlet temps up slightly. The PT 1000 will be much smaller and be best with high water flow. The free flow design will push temps up if you can handle that?
