Intercooler

[Tomt1983]

So i have a 2018 mtx 153, it has pipe and cold air intake, running stock boost and i'm in bc and ride good snow most of the time around an average say about -10*c. With this being a mtn sled and the intercooler is upfront has anyone done any testing to see if the intercooler has any real effect on charge temps? If, one: the intake air is coming from a cold air intake, and two: with my limited seat time wouldnt that intercooler be stuffed with power and thus having little or no air flow thru it? Thanks

I'm not a mountain guy, but just happened to be cruising the TY forums for any stimulus at all.
If you go look in the "Sidewinder Trail Talk" section, there is plenty of info on this.
Yes the intercooler gets clogged.
Yes it robs power.
Yes there are multiple solutions including going to the Cat nose, frogskin & even a kit from Barn-o-Parts

I am interested in that for trail use. Where did you get it. I don't see it on their site.

That is cool! I can't imagine a curved IC is very cheap LOL. I was going to go water air at some point if I thought it was bad enough to warrant the expense.

Did you weigh it, by chance? Quite curious.
