Re: Fitting a second intercooler

I don’t think that the serial or parallel installation of intercoolers makes much difference, the question is the location of the intercooler and if at least one of them has a direct airflow through the bumper. My guess is you will have a little more turbo lag and less responsive reaction because you double the air volume between the turbo and intake manifold. So when you press the pedal, turbo has to build up pressure in much bigger chambers and the reaction will be slightly slower. My 2 cents...
