#Does intake make turbo spool faster upgrade#
Your transmission has a lot of impact on your driving experience and having a software strategy programmed that is geared towards performance makes for a more exciting and sporting ride.įor the non-DSG cars a clutch upgrade is also very wise. An upgraded transmission, or TCU, tune can help you go faster by improving shift speeds, having higher clutch pressure to handle more power, and give you quicker acceleration.
You factory software has a shift strategy that is not built for performance, but built for all the compromises that a mass market needs, just like the ECU. With the introduction of the DSG transmission this is becoming a very popular upgrade. So, just don’t go out there and put the biggest thing you can find unless you don’t like making the most power. The trick is to use an intercooler that is efficient and has a minimal pressure drop from inlet to outlet. Your stock intercooler does its best, but if you are modifying your engine and are seeking optimum output you want a larger heat exchanger (also known as your intercooler) to keep those temperatures down so you have a nice cold and dense charge to add fuel to and make the bigger boom for more power. What this really means to you is that by increasing boost pressure we are also increasing heat and getting higher intake air temperatures. If you remember your high school Physics class you will remember the combination law (Boyle’s and Charles Laws) which tells us that when air is compressed, say from a turbocharger, the pressure and temperature of the air increases, as the volume of the space containing air decreases when a gas is compressed it heats up and loses density. Intercooler upgrades are a great thing to handle the excess heat.
