I brought brought a second intercooler a few months back for my 156 2.4, never got round to fitting it and got a 147 1.9 now, so I m going to fit it to that (1.9 and 2.4 use the same intercooler). Thing is I m not sure whether to mount it in series or in line-ie should I split the pipe and send the air to both intercoolers and then use another splitter to join the pipe again just before it goes into the manifold or whether I should just add the second into the intake "circuit". The first way seems best as I think the second might make it feel less responsive as there would just be extra pipe work and further so for the air to travel. Any one agree?
