Okay so I am leaning towards doing the CVF Street Intercooler, my aim is towards 400+ WHP with my ecoboost, short story is I like to shred through the canyon roads here in Cali. I am currently working on suspension and chassis bracing but would like to decrease my inlet air Temps, so in the canyons i see speeds up anywhere from 40mph to 60+ and I DO want to keep my AGS. So here's my questions that pertain to keeping them and I do know that everyone recommends to delete them.
Question 1 - Do I need a tune for the bigger intercooler (street - factory style) for the added air velocity and for the ags to function with the intercooler
Question 2 - How do the AGS rely on temp, does it open based on coolant temp because if the upgraded intercooler temp is cooler then stock then would the AGS stay closed and cause the intercooler to heat up from reduce air flow until the radiator reaches a certain temperature for them to open which wouldnt even make a noticeable difference? You can consider mysetup and goal to be more towards track but not necessarily time attack since I'm getting into constant high speeds and straight lines.
Question 3 - so I like to rely on numbers verses not feeling any differences because let's be honest, most mods sometimes aren't noticeable from the good Ole butt dyno as I'm referring to removing the AGS as I know it does reduce drag and keep trapped air from recirculating under the hood and have no where to go resulting in drag. And yes it's super light and result in a type of weight reduction but again not noticeable so not worried about weight savings verse noticing weight savings from seats and back seat delete.
Anyways I wanna keep the AGS and wanna know how the AGS functions and what it relies on to see if it'll affect the upgrade intercooler to perform how it should and if I need a tune for a upgraded intercooler or if I just need a tune to have the AGS table to function properly for the upgraded intercooler, any help appreciated really thank you!
