Hi guys,
Recently ran into a fantastic deal on a Garrett GT35r. Thinking of putting that into the VG30ET I'm rebuilding. I had originally planned on a T04e w/ intercooler, but if I splurge and spend more on the turbo--I don't really want to spend another grand on the intercooler.
At what point, with the GT35, do you think an intercooler is necessary? I'm hoping to run around 16-18 pounds of boost, 92 octane fuel. Not going to be doing a ton of racing or anything. I know with the stock t3, you really need an I/C after like 8 pounds because of the turbo's design. But the GT35 is ball-bearing and water-cooled, so I feel like I should be able to run a much higher boost pressure.
Let me know what you think, thanks!
