I have noticed a significant differance in acceleration from when the weather is near the 100 mark vs the cool 75 degree evenings we are now experiencing in this area. I understand all the cooler air = density = more O2 etc. my question is can I expect such a noticable difference when I install a larger intercooler?

actually when the weather is cooler you will go slower because the air passing over your car will be denser thus more drag sorta like swimming versus flying...

And this affects engine power how? Yes, you will get a VERY TINY bit more drag with colder air, but honestly, do you think our cars are aerodynamically limited to 155mph when they're running twice the stock horsepower?

for sure. right now im painting so the body is pretty much ripped apart and my engine, well some people would disagree with me putting my a2w intercooler above the turbo but I have no where to put it as of right now. But yea I'll def post some pics of progress. actually if you wanna me out on facebook I have some pics. its getting done jet black right now and so far so good. I just hate getting little bubbles in the paint. my air lines are too long and so water condenses in the tubes and sometimes the water will come through the gun and appear as bubbles that I have to let surface. SO ANNOYING.

tell me if this link works or if not and i can fix it
