Robrace,

Thanks. I've abandoned the whole idea of the intercooler now that the ECU has been re-chipped. The intercooler idea was TB Turbo's on the basis that my Chausson didn't have an ECU that could be reprogrammed - not true as Alex at Boosters has proved. And saved me a pile of dosh into the bargain.......

Ray

If you look in a Haines workshop manual for a Transit you will see reference to some Transits being fitted with intercoolers!!But I've never seen one!I have a Transit based Herald which goe's well but a little more power without too much expense would be appreciated!!


Hi Robrace
what year is your transit and what is the engine size and bhp if known.
Regards
Alex

My Transit is a 1995 2.5tdi !as I say my Haines manual lists an intercooler as being fitted to some models.Thought it might be possible to pick up one from breakers yard but have never seen any offered!!My Transit doe's go well already compared with the 2ltr petrol one I had!!I have just returned from Pembrey Race circuit towing my racing car and trailer on the heads of the valley road and it went well but a little more power would be good.

Hi
I think it is about time we reply to this thread.
We are sorry if we were not clear in our response but we did not mean to imply that the transit in question could not be chipped as it can . Our recommendation was for a re chip AND an intercooler . The first Transits with the 2.5 td engine have an ECU but no intercooler. It is our policy that when adding turbochargers or re chipping vehicles that do not have intercoolers then we recommend adding one. Look at nearly all modern turbo diesels . This is done for the benefit of the engine !!!. The price as mentioned in one of these threads was for a chip & an intercooler .
One last point , we have never seen one of these particular Transits produce anywhere near 30% increase .
remember we keep our claims realistic, because we back ours up with before and after printed power & torque graphs from an industry leading dyno !!
