hey guys, i am considering sourcing out a WTA cooler of a ST205, and putting it onto my st165 which currently has the stock WTA, i was wondering if anyone has done this and if its possible,
also what modification would i need to make.
ie, a bonnet scoop. ect
cheers guys.

Yup it has been done, slight changes in the piping off the ST205 cooler, but for all intents and purposes, it bolts up.

can i ask why the WTA? they are great, but you can do a FMIC for cheaper, and would give you more repeatable performance... and save weight too!

ummmmm well something a bit different ?
also have a buyer for my FMIC kit.
you dont happen to have an idea of the gains, over my existing WTA ?

gains, there are none, if that makes any sense.

You don't actually get power from your intercooler, its the flow and the efficiency it has to cool which gets your power.

Gains over a normal small ST165 WTA, is, as i said, more repeatable performance.
