Any reason you went with Do88 cooler rather than Elevate?

I was actually pretty amazed at the difference that the cooler made on hotter days. Definitely a worthwhile mod.

I got it cheap from someone else here on the forums
Also... the DO88 part is a slightly better part than the elevate one

I’ve heard that the do88 cooler is a slightly better design than the Elevate version.

Philla what did you do for pipework on the Do88 cooler? Their website advises that the pipework only fits the FWD model?

I'm running stock pressure piping still, When I decide on a turbo... I will do something about the pressure side...
Though TBH... Intake is also on the to do list...

Ahh fair call. Sounds like we’re thinking the same way. I was looking at intake, filter, cooler and exhaust then figured if I’m going to do all that I should at least consider a bigger turbo. What turbo are you leaning towards? I’m a little concerned about engine management if I do swap the turbo out as some of the flash tunes don’t seem to be able to accomodate it.
