PC-16 needs intercooler?
I'm running the standard K04 file for use with a 5 bar FPR. Granted, the temperature is only about 70 out, but after repeatedly beating on the car the highest inlet temp I saw was 37 celsius (not even 100f). This was over a number of days.
Aside from the temps, is there any other reason the intercooler is needed? Doesnt the PC-16 file run less boost anyways? I'm at ~18-22 psi right now with these temps.
Thanks.

yes it does....
it also needs exhaust, 310cc injectors, 3 bar FPR, or an adjustable FPR down to 2.6-2.7bar.
its an aggressive file and without the intercooler...it will pull timing as you run hotter and hotter.
psi doesn't mean much...its more about airflow then what PSI you hit. i run 21-22 when it hot out as the air is less dense...tonite it was 59 degrees and i only got 16psi tops in 3rd and 4th. so you can see how ambient air temps affect boost.
