Hi guys I decided to keep my car for a while , also Im thinking about 80mm TB or SLR style intercooler . My buddy said the SLR style intercooler will give me 40 to 60WHP while the TB only delived 25 or 30WHP . Any of you know how much does it cost for slr style intercooler ? Please advice

BTW Im currently had K2 , CF airbox and larger C090 johnson pump . Dynoed 452WHP ( at 8500 high elevations )

huge difference

In price ... I would get the throttle body.

I think thats like a 10x price difference at least.

I would do them both if funds permitted. That aside, the TB is the better value but both are the foundation for serious HP down the road.
