Just wondering if changing the intercooler piping slightly to add some fogs would require a retune.


Also does it have any impact on airflow; since it is all compressed air does it really matter?

Here is a pic for ref, not my car but has the idea

 

Keeping the same size and nearly same amount of bends wouldn't change it too much. All it would do is in/decrease pressure drop slightly, meaning the turbo will be slightly more/less efficient at a given PSI. You probably get more of a change from baro pressure changing than from the piping alterations.

 

what about using a straight 90* angle bend (non curved/mandrel)

If you can avoid it you should.

 

The air would be slamming into a wall, literally. not a good idea for flow.

 

what about the 90 elbow bends like in the pic, not straight 90*s

At this point i'm thinking of ditching the fogs all together.

Hard decision because once i cut that part out i can never go back without a new bumper.
