Hey guys I've been feeling out my (completely stock) SI on the Phearable tune (23psi) and I'm loving it. I'm ready to add a bit more to the car, but I'm not sure what to go with next. I'm considering one of the three: Intercooler, Cold air intake, downpipe. I know the car is susceptible to heat soaking, and in southern CA the heat is rising and summer makes it hard to get decent IAT. My Kcon is down to around 50-70 depending how I drive which is nice, but my IAT hits about 120-145 and I don't like it. I'm not entirely sure if something like a PRL Cold air intake would help more than an intercooler would in the way of performance/cooling, or maybe even a down pipe? I'm a bit new to the significance of a down pipe, but I have a rough idea of how it helps - more air flow/etc.- but does that mean more cooling?
I'm still a bit of a novice so I'm not entirely sure as to what the best option would be or even if a Downpipe is worth getting right now, as I feel cooling is the top priority to keep the car and turbo performing at more efficient/better temps. Suggestions are welcome!
A bit off topic, would a rear sway bar help out much when doing mountain cruising (on stock wheels/suspension?)
Thanks guys!
