I think a lot of the guys say they are necessary running under about 15 PSI. I got one, as i didn't want to use the Water Injection setup. I'm also not sure what Intake temps the other guys are getting, but i know with the cooler, i never see above 5-8 deg C above the ambient temp.
On the cold nights driving home you can noticably tell the difference, but that may be the same with the non-intercooled cars. |

I do notice the difference on a cold night. I suspect you would notice it more with the cooler though.
I have water injection on mine. As for the engineers certificate, I wouldn't have a clue where to get one over here. Im sure someone can point you in the right direction though.

Cold nights and mornings i definately noticed a different but i think that's typical for any forced induction setup.
I ran water injection, but had a switch to disable it - for example on cold nights... A fair bit of mucking around to get the spray level right... too much and it kills power (lol, had a few dyno operators scratching their head).

After seeing the prices on the capa website 6.3k for a powerdyne and 8k for a vortech it does seem a fair bit of dosh for a air pump.
I only paid 7k for my ef xr8 so i dont see the value. So i'll get a set of diff gears and drive it around till the motor gets tired (only has 112 000 on the clock  ) and save up for a stroker.

Thats it mate.
They aren't cheap for what they are. s**t i got my EL XR8 for 16k over 2 years ago, which was cheap at the time, and have spent at least that on it modifying it. With the Qindsor, you may be waiting a while for it to 'get tired'. She'll probably still be running sweet at 400,000kms! |

Haha, If the car is in good nick, and you don't try to sabotage it to try and kill it. Good luck otherwise! I've given mine a fair hiding quite often, and *touch wood* it hasn't given up on me yet.
They just love for you to get the right boot into them! |

Lol, 112 thou on the clock you'd probably still see honing marks on the bore if you pulled the heads off.
