what is the size difference? dimension for both of them
My 200tdi running 18psi standard intercooler and is on 190k no problems..
(Apart from needing a new cylinder head but that was me boiling it)
Defender engines factory 12psi
Discovery engines factory 14psi or somthing like that!!

That would be max wouldn't it? not cursing at a set/consistent speed. Mine only does 10-12 at 70-75mph but foot to floor and goes way over 20psi

The intercooler i have is 600x300x75 i bought it off ebay brand new. But the overall measurement of the intercooler is bigger then the gap between the wings. So would have to mod somethink. Is there anyway of temporary testing it. Also the pipe core size is 3 inch so would have to reduce to standard size. Cheers for your replys.

21 is about the limit 18 is a good safe pressure
Good price that, if I had a A/C tig I would have done it myself, only can weld steel with the kit I've got, put some piccys up when you've done
