    Well I have a 88 Mustang that I was thinking on putting a GT42-76 turbo and an A/W setup. But now, I was wondering if I got a huge custom A/A with 88mm or bigger turbo or even twin 76mm turbos with 15-18lbs of boost will my air temps still be too high that i will still need an A/W or meth setup? It will be a track only car, just trying to keep my setup simple, hate the idea have to drain and refill after a pass or worry if the Meth will work or not.

    This is impossible to answer for sure without knowing the setup.

    Going to take a guess at the hp level considering those turbos. If your over 1k, it will be tough to get good temps and a core that fits. Going to be 4.5 thick or so, 12-15in tall, and 18-24 in wide. Your pressure drop will still be about 1.5-2 psi at those levels. just for the power level, I would go A/W. You don't have to put it in the car. Put it up front like I did. Makes 1000 hp and still 60 deg temps at 21 psi.

    It's on his website, but just in case he doesn't get back to this in time.

    Thank you sir, but this is the right one. Pulling fucking teeth to get web people to do anything. Website got taken over by spammers for four fucking months before they did anything.
