Intercooler Talk: Tube & Fin Vs. Bar and Plate | 034Motorsport FAQ

[@tyquanwashington.8510]

I've had both on my car and these are the pros and cons I've noticed.
Tube and fin - heat soaks quicker, displaces heat quicker, overall higher charge temps, less pressure drop, quicker turbo spool.
Bar and plate - heat soaks slower, displaces heat slower, overall lower charge temps, more pressure drop, slower turbo spool.

Which one do you recommend on a s5 b9 for rolls and dig racing then?

[@kelvinleong915]

If we runing around 500hp should use bar and plate for better ?

[@Good-luck-Jonathan]

Also there is more pressure drop with bar and plate then a good tube and fin. 2 X more pressure drop in some cases.
