    Yes, wala standard blower yung sa amin.

    curious lang po. bakit not effecient ang intercooler on traffic/low rpm?

    Isn't it that cooler air is always better for the engine, probably, except for cold start?

    thanks again
    the intercooler makes the traveling distance from air intake to engine takes longer by millisecs, making a millisec later response from standing start. On low rpm, there is no heat generated by the turbo air friction and pressure build up. any air generated by the turbine on low rpm is directly consumed by the engine. there is no hot air that needs to be cooled.

    may hoodscoop po ba yang intercooler mo?

    Yes, meron hood scoop. iniisip ko kasi na pag traffic, papanhik yung engine heat sa intercooler therefore mag aabsorb ng heat yun g intercooler instead of giving off heat.

    I suppose putting one would be better. and your first problem is how to attach it. I suggest suction fan and located below intercooler. good luck!

    DieselDude,

    Since my car still fairly new with me, I had another observation...If I PREHEAT(it seems set at a certain time) the car 3 times then it starts right away...if preheated once it takes a few revolutions of the starter to get the engine going...it scares me I might burn the starter, so now I just pre heat it 3x all the time. Its the same even if the engine is already warmed up. Would you think changing glowplugs would help improve the starting up?

    Check the glowplugs and its control system before replacing any part. Glowplugs are expensive. Baka naman weak ang battery mo, or faulty ang battery cables, terminals, and/or loose and connections nito.
